www.catalogchoice.org This web site allows you to decline catalogs mailed to your home. I have to admit, I love paging through them, but it’s a tremendous waste. The web site provides a master list, and I was amazed to see my total at the end: 55 different catalogs! My mailman will be pleased…
There is likely an organized beach clean up on the island today, but my kind neighbors also brought trash bags along for their walk this morning to do their part.
The Earth Day events are important, and hit home. This past year, I had the opportunity to travel abroad. The French, for instance, expect you to bring your own grocery bags to [...]

Cool sea breeze yesterday- but a beautiful day for a walk along the beach.
Waves of sand untouched by foot prints. That will change soon!
Noticed last night that “Quahog’s” is open on 97th Street (just off Second Avenue in the old Tri-Jo’s building). The owners, who also own Sea Salt on 83rd and Third Avenue, renovated the space over the winter. I heard it will be a casual seafood/clam shack with take- out available. Anxious to give it a try.
