Feeling Stronger Every Day ~ Strolling Central Park

Walking from Penn Station to Yorkville I passed through Bryant Park and Central Park. Along the way I thought of two Chicago songs, "Feeling Stronger Every Day," & "Saturday in the Park." The first song makes me want to run a few laps around the reservoir; the second like a siren's cry pushes me towards the rocks for a long sit to watch the river flow on the park's paths.

Here are pictures from my walk. I love Chicago way back when they were still CTA, Chicago Transit Authority. They, and early Blood Sweat & Tears knocked me out in 1968 & 1969. Good years to be 14 and 15 in New York.

Here are all the pictures from my stroll.

During the show, I mentioned my worst Christmas gift ever.

When I was ten, after fattening me up for a few years (my brother and I called her refrigerator “Treasure Island”), my grandmother gave me a package on Christmas morning that looked like it was wrapped by monkeys. Fully expecting a toy I tore it open and found a shiny pair of HUSKIES dungarees, the three fold style with starch, stiff like a steamroller gave them a once over. The tag saying HUSKIES was so big you could read it from across the room.

I looked at my grandmother funny, and she asked,” Do you think they’ll fit?”
