It is the most wonderful time of the year, and as Christmas comes near which to me is dear, I'm offering this here if you want to hear.
It’s already beginning to look a little like Christmas, nearly everywhere you go. As Thanksgiving draws near in a few short weeks, many cities and towns are already getting the jump on their Christmas holiday programs, particularly to give potential participants notice to join in the joyous festivities.
I got wonderful gifts for my birthday, including a modern air purifier from my dear daughters.
The surprises included texts that I read as well as cards, emails and voice mails I heard. However since I no loger visit that platform which has recently lost face, I apologize to all those freinds who may have sent greetings, but did not take the time required to read my parting messages of Adios Amigos, ands Hasta La Vista!
Seasons Greetings from #CityImages. This is the first full week of the most wonderful three months and our favorite time of the year.
And so it begins... The best trimester of the year. Regardless of whether you're using the ancient Aztec Calendar or not.
We enjoy these three months because October's still Hispanic History Month, UB’s birthday, and then followed by Halloween. November is Thanksgiving, a time to enjoy family and friends. December is Christmas, a time when everyone feels special.
Today Is the 21st of September, which means it may be time to listen and delve into the Earth, Wind & Fire classic smash hit.
But do you remember why the band happened to chose the 21st as the date for the song? Many assume it has to do with the seasons changing September 21 is the first day of Autumn. It happens to be the international day of peace. The simple reality is that it rhymes nicely..
Some folks are already getting into the scary Halloween spirit early on with pre seasonal events running through the end of October..
Therefore CityImages decided to get on the Trick or Treat train early on this year..Which costume will be more popular this season of the witch?

The sixty-something-year-old who lives in my building thinks he is a real drummer because he likes to bang with his drumsticks.
Never mind that he does this at night while most normal folks sleep, but he can't even keep a beat. Therefore he is more like a dumber boy.
What makes a great drummer? There are many metrics to consider, but there are various rankings in no particular order based on technical skill, creativity/innovation, compositional ability, and attitude.
