International Women's Day

Submitted by Admin on

When an individual is born a woman, she has to figure out how to be a woman by doing the best she possibly can. She observes other women, reads, listens to her mother, sisters and grandmothers.

Her practice is by trial and error and she eventually decides that being a woman is about adjusting how to do it by the reactions she gets. By being a member of her gender, she learns how to “do” it from watching how others respond to her.

No matter which language she uses, most would agree that being a woman is a huge responsibility.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service had issued a "hazardous weather outlook" for New York City, but it doesn't look like heavy snow fall will be the big issue on City Island.

Knock on wood, do not expect lot's of snow here because this puppy may have decided to go in another direction. Let's keep our fingers crossed and our eyes on City Island Images live camera on midtown City Island. That is City Island avenue and Fordham street.
