Eight is a magical number and is considered the luckiest of numbers in China.  The Chinese believe the more 8's the better.

The number 8 itself is a spiritual number right between 7 and 9. In fact, you can think of angel number 8 as being a critical step between these two most spiritual numbers. The number 8 is itself balanced, which means that it is the number of balancing both the material and spiritual aspects of our experience.

Last night, I listened, watched, and learned from two lovely ladies who were communicating over #WeChat about applying makeup.

They are both successful, professional, and well-educated mothers in the prime of their lives. One who is my wife has a finance degree and the other, her younger sister holds advanced degrees in public health. The video conversation was also about the time-consuming and expenses that are required in purchasing and storing cosmetics.

Hip hop dancing also called breaking or b-boying/b-Girling is an athletic style of free street dance direct from The Bronx, USA, 1973.

While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, breakdancing mainly consists of four kinds of movement: top rock, down rock, power moves, and freezes. It's time for hip hop in #NYC. Join legendary artists for #NYCHomecomingWeek at concerts across the boroughs. Tickets are FREE.

These early Marilyn Monroe images remind me of my cub reporter days. I covered a Miss Nude World Pagent at a Florida nudist camp.

In the news environment, I was seldom exposed to nude photography, films, or videos. Although one of my first assignments happened to be of young ladies baring all.

The opening ceremony inside eerily empty stadium seats. Let the weirdness begin. The first reviews of the fan-less Olympics are in, and after watching The Parade of Nations on television we can say this event may be somewhat underwhelming.

But as they say, the show must go on. This term is used to say that an event must continue even though there are problems, and boy there sure is, the elephant in the stadium... The global pandemic.

The Big Apple and the surrounding boroughs offer one of the most fantastic health care systems available and access to amenities that can make it an ideal spot to live and also to retire. 

New York City is a wonderful place for young people to study, also to work and play as well as for elderly retirees. New York, New York - A city so nice, they had to name it twice. Excellent public transportation, great cultural landmarks, a plethora of attractions, and lots of services that attract people from all over er the world.

I like to call City Island - A Slice of NYC Paradise because it is a quaint peaceful place on the most northeastern point of New York City.
