The big cheese in Great Barrington

On a visit to Great Barrington, Mass., we stopped at Robin's Candy Shop as well as Rubiner's Cheesemongers & Grocers. The front display left no question what this place is about.

First (firefly) light

In Lakeville, Connecticut, I saw my first firefly, which isn't a fly at all, but an ugly-looking beetle.


Junior's cheesecake

Upon arrival in New York, we found our cab alongside a Junior's Cheesecake truck, and that put me in the mood to follow up a few days later at Grand Central Terminal, where they have two locations: in the food court or market area. Simply yummy!

In line for Alexander McQueen "Savage Beauty" at the Met

When you reach the head of the line for the Alexander McQueen "Savage Beauty" show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you're still behind the hundreds of people who showed up earlier. This was the only photo I took because the security guard came up to tell me, "No photos." Other people did sneak photos in the exhibit though.
