All I want in 2018 . . .

is this bright yellow vintage 2CV—and I don't even drive!
(And yet, the road is still mine—go figure.)   
In case you missed it, I recently retired.  That means 
I have more time to travel and I plan to do just 
that.  Which means that I need to back off this blog a bit.  
I've been doing it for nine and a half years now and it's 
been a total labor of love.  But I think we're all 
a bit "blogged out" at this point.  So for now I'll blog 
when I have something to blog about and
I hope you'll come by from time to time ( please do!).

{Meanwhile, I'll also be around on Instagram—
can't lie, I'm a bit addicted.  Find me
@brooklynalexa, and on Facebook as well.}

And Happy New Year to all of my wonderful blog pals!

The Weekend in Black and White

Downtown buildings are reflected in
the outer walls of the "oculus"—part PATH
station and part high-end shopping mall.

Skywatch Friday

Came up out of the subway on Christmas
Eve (annual pilgrimage to Zabar's
on the Upper West Side for
overpriced but delicious holiday treats)
and saw this fluffy sky.  Anyone
know if there's a name for these clouds?

the world, go here.]

Make mine neon

Part of the vast Fulton Street transit
station,  where you have access to
—count 'em—11 different subway lines
(except that the 2 & 3 and the
4 & 5 are mostly the same thing).

ABC Wednesday—Y is for "yellow ornament"

And also for "yuletide."  Happy holidays to
the ABC team and all its contributors!

Happy Boxing Day!
