  1. There are great restaurants there.My younger daughter lived there after graduating college.She moved there because her boyfriend at the time was into surfing and that is a very popular place for that . A singer who is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame lives there as does a retired MLB player.
  2. Kiplinger has Portland ,ME and Rochester ,NY as great places to retire to.A former co-worker of mine who moved to Hawaii when he was in his 40’s relocated to Rochester after retirement .I love Portland .I have been there several times.If I was younger and healthy I would consider the Toronto area.I have two friends there .
  3. My daughter who has the upstate NY house is in Delaware County.One of my former neighbors relocated there .A lot of formerly LI people are there now.
  4. My 3 best friends from HS left NY .One to North Carolina,one to Northern California and then to Oregon and the third to Southern California and then to Northern California.
  5. Many people that I know who live in Manhattan and Westchester take the LIRR to Long Beach or drive to Long Beach .It is a much less congested area with a beautiful boardwalk and great restaurants.People in my part of LI who could walk to Jones Beach flock to Long Beach .They even have summer concerts .
  6. A friend of mine who was retired from the NYPD moved from NY to Tennessee about 20 years ago and loved the area.My friends from Brooklyn scattered all over the US after retirement .We never did because we love LI.

One of my daughters and her husband have a home in upstate NY that has a fulltime population of 251.Many people come there to ski in the winter.
  8. My soon to be 19 year old granddaughter is supposed to be going to Israel on Sunday with 39 students from her college and several Professors. Toby and I are very worried about this. We hope that the college cancels the trip but we do not think they will.
  9. We have never lived in a house for more than 20 years.We have friends who have been living in a NYC apartment building for 55 years.
  10. We were on a cruise in 2017 where people were coughing in the air non stop.I happened to be sitting in the library and suggested to the Librarian that he make an announcement to the passengers about their behavior but he was not interested.I then went to Guest Services and they also had no interest. My wife is a retired RN and she was really angry about the behavior.
  11. We have cruised on Cunard,Celebrity,HAL,RCI ,NCL and Carnival. We prefer Celebrity and RCI to any of the others.
  12. When we lived in NYC we had a similiar garden. Now living in our condo townhouse we share a lawn with 15 other home owners.We also have a small amount of grass in front of the house.
  13. You obviously enjoy your job otherwise you would not be doing ir aside from the paycheck and expense account ,correct ?
  14. Beuk is my granddog.I am not a fam of Yam Yam.However,I quizzed Beuk 3 times and each time he barked when I said Yam Yam.He is a very smart dog.He responds to commands in two languages and I am in the process of teaching him a third.
  15. That was your choice and presumably you derived enjoyment from the trip .
  16. My better half makes a great pineapple upside down cake .
  17. My granddog who predicted the winner of Survivor responds to commands in English and Hebrew.I am currently teaching him to respond in Italian.
  18. The only one left on my favorites from day one is Heidi ,but since Yam Yam will be the winner it makes no difference who I am rooting for.
  19. Yes,he is a small dog with a very loud bark.If Yam Yam wins I am taking Beuk to Las Vegas or any place else where gambling is legal.
