From the gallery: GRAMMAR IS EVERYTHING

GRAMMAR IS EVERYTHING: I saw this sign posted on a fence in a nearby neighborhood and had to ‘borrow’ it, it is just too priceless – it now hangs in my kitchen. I think they meant ‘Curb Your Dog.’ 🙂
(I love how ‘dog’ is an afterthought.)

Photo of the day: MOSTLY MOZART

MOSTLY MOZART: I am walking through the common walkways of Sunnyside Gardens and I come across this cat sitting in the middle of the walkway. He is incessantly meowing. Non-stop. Coming out of the windows of the house to the right is a lovely afternoon classical music concert, broadcast by WQXR. I am concerned that the cat is meowing so much. Out comes my neighbor from his house:

Me: I think your cat is hungry.
Neighbor: Oh no, he is just singing along to the music
Me: Oh really?
Neighbor: Yes, he loves these afternoon concerts.
Me: What kind of music does he like best?
Neighbor: Mostly Mozart.
