Don’t know what’s wrong with me - when I hear and see them, I have to walk over, I have to leave some money in the box, I just have to be there. It’s a bit of light in the dark room…

Imagine you see a portal to hell, wouldn’t you want to check it out? Well, apparently access is restricted- maybe it’s for the best…

A meditation garden or a cult meeting place? Just let your imagination run wild…

I’d love to talk about people killing and raping each other, but I’ll leave that up to TV and mass media. Once again, let’s mention a good guy for a change - Tom Meleski. For over 20 years, Mr. Meleski had been waking up at the same early hour and going out for a 2-mile walk through the streets of Langhorne. On the way, being a war veteran, he saluted every flag he had come across; he would then get a cup of coffee at a local coffee house (his tab was always miraculously pre-paid) and walk over to the cemetery to spend a day with his wife of 50 years. Mr. Meleski passed away last week… they simply don’t make them like that anymore…

It’s good to come across a place that represents my life in two accurate, spot-on words…

This dude is unreal - Eric Darius is one of the most dynamic and talented people I’ve ever met, yet so humble and easy to be around. A really great show!!

Somehow the intersection looked familiar and I realized that I was standing at the place where Satriale’s used to be - the pork store, where Mr. Soprano & his crew used to hang out, and where countless legendary scenes were filmed. The store is no more, yet it will always be piece of television history, part of the screen magic that these guys created, forever.

I knew that Trump had his own buildings, casinos, restaurants, bars, wines, ice creams and even a fragrance. Here, as I was hiding from excessive heat, I ended up in a store that sells shirts, hats, mugs and Lord knows what else - probably underwear as well. Most importantly - Let’s Go Brandon mugs! Is this for real or just a desert-heat mirage?

With ‘The Crystal Method’ blasting, I’m back to 45 solid minutes - just me, sunrise, the road and a huge dog (which luckily turned out to be a deer 😆)

They say that the best view comes after the hardest climb. Must be impossible to work in an office with a mesmerizing view like this one…

And they say that NYC subway isn’t up to the world standards!? Looks like top notch first-class accommodations to me.

The greatest empire ever created by people, a place where freedom always finds expression. It’s a fire that has its highs and lows, but that will never be extinguished. Happy birthday America!

I knew that aliens were eventually going to come and take me away from all this craziness! Yes, thank you!!!

This guy is simply incredible - there should be a picture of him in the dictionary under 'persistence' & 'determination'. Jared Gordon is a UFC warrior; he overcame addiction, abuse and many other challenges, and today he uses the octagon as a platform to support and give hope to those who suffer as he did.

Street musicians come in all shapes and forms; some deserve bigger platforms and some just do not… I love watching & listening to them all.

Never give up, never quit, never stop fighting. Whatever goal you’re working toward - don’t let obstacles and setbacks stop you. Reframe challenges into your greatest gifts. As the champ said: “You’re not going to win every fight, but you sure get up and try again!”

The news media works daily to ensure everyone knows the names of the murderers and other scum. We, instead, will name the heroes - and in real life, heroes aren't always dressed in uniforms. They look like us, but they are not exactly like all of us - they face adversity with courage, saving people and not expecting anything in return. The least we can do is remember and never forget their names. Remember these two names in particular:
- Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia, the two teachers from Texas, who died protecting and saving countless children. As King Solomon said: “The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.”
