Random thoughts on an Autumn Day

What a difference a day makes with the weather. It was a rainy nasty day yesterday, but today was as good as in gets in late October. I took Lee down this morning to play basketball in the P.S. 214 schoolyard just a block away from home. Lee then met his Samuel Field Y group for a trip out on Long Island to pick pumpkins. I then drove out to Douglaston to walk around Little Neck Bay as I have done many times before. When I got home I surfed the web as I listened to Sounds of the Sixties with Brian Matthew. If you remember my AOL journal there was always an entry for music that you listen to while you write a journal entry. Afterward I walked to downtown Flushing to Modells to buy a pair of sneakers. I saw a nice t-shirt commemorating Yankee Stadium in its last year. I decided to buy it for Lee since I already have a Shea Stadium shirt. It will also be sad to see Yankee Stadium (1923-2008) demolished. Karen stayed home and cleaned out some stuff we had collected over the years. She found some photos from my Dad when he was in the army during World War II.
