Great places to visit, excellent restaurants, casual eating places, walking for fun, interest, and entertainment, and where to find the best cheesesteak sandwiches are things visitors expect when in Philadelphia. It’s easy to collect to-do things because this city gets better every year. And more people know this because more people are coming as tourists, [...]
You are a warrior… Stay strong, rest up and we love you…

I can be exasperating when it comes to technology, and for me that means anything beyond a paper and pen. I know that. The truth is, I don’t care – not that I don’t care about technology, no, no, I don’t care about being exasperating sometimes. For instance, do we always have to answer the [...]
I watched the movie Fanny this past weekend. To my delight, it fell into my hands quite unexpectedly from my daughter, Sumi. There’s something extremely pleasant happening when seeing a movie of this calibre.

We – Toshi, Emi and I -enjoyed last night’s performance, and agreed that the dancing, singing, and acting – all rolled into [...]
The holidays , they delighted the outer and inner. Four New Yorkers came to Philadelphia and we all stayed at The Four Seasons; it was a merry place. On Christmas day we walked a bit around Philadelphia (most everything was closed), played with seven-months old Sophie, had wonderful conversations, enjoyed carry-out from McCormick & Schmick [...]

Have you seen CELTIC TIGER starring Michael Flatley “shot on location in Budapest”? Do you want to be energized and wonderfully entertained? Then you must get the DVD. Seriously! Michael Flatley has brought this art form to a very high level. And all of the dancers are fantastic. I don’t know if you can find [...]
