Up On The Roof

One way to see the rarified heights of New York City on a fixed income is to join a writing group that rotates meeting places.

As spring edges towards summer the odds are high that someone hosting a meeting will live in a nice place with roof access. Don't miss this meeting!

Rain or shine, tar beach will provide views to make your socks go up and down.

I highly recommend you join a writing group ~ and I'll meet you up on the roof.

Up On the Roof

When this old world starts getting me down,
And people are just too much for me to face.
I climb way up to the top of the stairs,
And all my cares just drift right into space.
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be.
And there the world below can't bother me.

Up on the Roof (Gerry Goffin and Carole King)

All sides of my family made regular use of their tenement roofs. Spring, summer and fall, they played cards & music, read, swung on ropes, hid under canopies, raced pigeons, dried clothes, laughed, fought, made up. Extension cords allowed you to bring every electronic device to the roof except for your refrigerator and washer if you had one. Breathing the rarefied air on the roof, you laid your troubles down.
