For those of us in the United States, it is Memorial Day. The unofficial start of summer it is set aside to honor those who died in the nation's armed services defending our nation. For those around the world, the World Health Organization uses May 31 to encourage all those addicted to tobacco products to … Continue reading Two special days in one…

National Road Trip Day

Link ~ May 28, 2021May 27, 2021 ~ walterthinnes ~ 1 Comment

Summer in the USA is the classic time for a road trip and so the Friday before Memorial Day is dedicated to reminding you to make your plans. Sometime this summer I plan to take my motorcycle to my happy place - The Blue Ridge Parkway (and throw in the Skyline Drive in Virginia just … Continue reading National Road Trip Day

Happy National Brother’s Day!

Link ~ May 24, 2021May 22, 2021 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

I'd like to take this opportunity of National Brother's Day to salute and celebrate my favorite brother (and for that matter my only brother) - Ron. He is extraordinarily special in every way and I can confidently tell you that because I have known him his entire life. He was exceptional in school, indeed he … Continue reading Happy National Brother’s Day!

Testing a new way to view my quick trip videos

Link ~ May 16, 2021May 16, 2021 ~ walterthinnes ~ 1 Comment

I am hoping to take a long ryde on my Can-Am Spyder in the coming weeks. (We Spyder Riders pretentiously call an outing a ryde to mimic our product name.) Because of the band width needed this blog page does not allow direct posting of video images as I used to do. Instead one must … Continue reading Testing a new way to view my quick trip videos

Tipping Back to Normal?

Link ~ May 15, 2021May 14, 2021 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

During the pandemic lockdown Times Square and the theater district here in New York were a ghost town. Unimaginable before we experienced it. But there are several signs things are getting back to normal. More than half of the Broadway Theaters have announced performance dates starting on September 14 and stretching through the end of … Continue reading Tipping Back to Normal?

Happy (unofficial) Cincinnati Day!

Link ~ May 13, 2021May 12, 2021 ~ walterthinnes ~ 1 Comment

People love to play with date numbers. March 14 (3.14) becomes Pi Day. May the 4th (be with you) becomes Star Wars Day. Because today, May 13, mimics the area code (513) of Cincinnati it becomes unofficially, of course, Cincinnati Day. Enjoy a bite of Goetta, eat a Skyline Chili Cheese Coney and top it … Continue reading Happy (unofficial) Cincinnati Day!

Happy 100th Patience and Fortitude

One of my favorite buildings in New York is the Stephen A. Schwartzman Building which serves as the primary New York City Library Building at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street next to Bryant Park. I have spent many happy hours writing there in the astonishing Rose Reading Room. And every time I visit, Patience and … Continue reading Happy 100th Patience and Fortitude

Mom and Socks

Link ~ May 9, 2021May 9, 2021 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

In the US today it is Mother's Day (remember last week I reminded you to get your card in the mail and your gift ordered?). Hope you did and that all moms have a terrific day today. The exact date of Mother's Day shifts about the calendar as dictated by the Great Hallmark in the … Continue reading Mom and Socks

May the 4th be with you

Link ~ May 4, 2021May 1, 2021 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

Some National Days are helpful and celebratory. Others are silly and fun. A long time ago in a galaxy very close to ours some nerds took the date "May the Fourth" and added "Be With You" and created a special day honoring a certain film franchise. You are bound to see people breathing hard into … Continue reading May the 4th be with you

Public Service Announcement for NEXT Sunday

Link ~ May 2, 2021May 1, 2021 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

In the United States the second Sunday in May is Mother's Day. Usually I post on that day with a celebration of my own mom, but that does you, the reader, little good if you have not prepared. So this is a friendly and helpful reminder to get your card in the mail or order … Continue reading Public Service Announcement for NEXT Sunday
