Beautifully written MelZ and made me think I was reading "3 Perfect Days in..." which is in the monthly magazine that United Airlines places into the seatbacks of it's aircraft.
After being gone from NY for 25 years in Colorado and Arizona and returning only temporarily (5 months) before relocating to The Villages next month, I had forgotten just how wonderful the weather is here in October. I had to laugh, however, when I saw the young people in the park in shorts and t-shirts while my Arizona blood demanded that I have on a sweater and jeans.
Great weather and a great post by you; I only wish it was a longer read.
... oh, and by the way, I did see that the
USS INTREPID has returned after it's renovations and I've been thinking of the days that I "enjoyed
?" while stationed on that vessel back around 1970 or thereabouts.
