Run up the Tubbs Hill
Ran up the Tubbs Hill this morning. The trail had continuous view of the lake. The view from Corbin point was breathtaking. Check out the trail map etched in stone at the base!!
Trail runs are tough. The heart and lungs complain while running uphill. The knees complain while running downhill. However, all of them approved of the numerous breaks I took to take in the beauty and a few pictures!!

From the bartender’s corner – again – Income Tax
Gin, Sweet Vermouth, Dry Vermouth, Orange Juice, Angostura Bitters and an orange peel for garnish. If you go back to my previous blogs, you will notice that this is basically Bronx plus the bitters. As the author of the book “The New Old Bar” said, “in fairness, who in the Bronx is not bitter around tax time”?

Nikispeak: Advances in Technology
This morning, I was shopping online for a few items for myself and Natasha. She was going to pay her items with her gift card – except that her gift card had $15 more than her share of the shopping cart. So, I proposed that we use her card and I would give her $15 in cash. She said “Yes” and then immediately said, “Do not give me any cash. I need to buy something from Target later. I will use this difference – the money in the air, so to speak, that time”. I pointed out “That is called the credit I owe you”. She went “Whatever! There is no real money. It is money in the air.”
All along, Nikita was sitting next to me listening to us. Finally, she had to serve up Natasha with a technology correction. “That is not called ‘air’, Didi. That is called the ‘cloud’ “.
I was like “You go, girl!!”
