Grouchy Old Man
In a nutshell the reason I am sometimes a grouchy old man:
So you have wisdom, but the young don't want to listen. And what was important to you is not important to them.
There really is no such thing as a grouchy old man or woman. The truth is that once you get old, you can stop being polite and start being honest. You realize you are a function of where and when you’re born.
I drew a good lot in life and picked my parents well. They in turn choose Ridgewood. I couldn’t have had a better start to life.
So how come I am grouchy at times? Maybe because there is no preparation for this last stage in life. You have to feel retirement to truly understand it. Once you have lived long enough to say you are semi-retired or completely retired, you know one of the best things about life is that you can’t go back. This is impossible to explain to uneducated uniformed people of any sociological strata: Gen Z, Millenial, Gen X. Though I remind myself, whenever this insight becomes all too obvious during a conversation, that they’ll find out soon enough for themselves.

Bling Bling At The Apollo
Meeting a friend at Dinosaur BBQ on 125th and 12th ave and decided to walk from the 4 train - it's a long walk but I knew I'd see some fun stuff along the way including the great Apollo theatre and when I passed...I looked into the pawn shop window across the street and saw this - oh its a mouthful.
Shot on 125 street just east of Fredrick Douglas Blvd looking south with northerly reflection.
Time 11am.

We're making progress on Schedler. I appreciate how passionate everyone is on both sides. Together, we'll find a pathway forward and get this project done.
By Charlie DeLuca
RIDGEWOOD, NJ – For the second consecutive Wednesday, the Zabriskie-Schedler property and issues surrounding it dominated public comments at the village council meeting. Village Engineer Chris Rutishauser was in attendance to review the latest set of plans and answer questions from the governing body as a decision nears on the project that has lasted more than 14 years.
Last week, the overwhelming majority spoke out against the plans to build a large, multipurpose field on the site with a home having historic designation. This vocal opposition was a flip from meetings held earlier this year where parents of children enrolled in Ridgewood’s recreational sports programs lobbied for the addition of a full-size field at the council meeting on January 26. Wednesday evening’s meeting represented somewhat of a compromise between the two sides, as both those who have spoke out numerous times at council meetings against the plans as well as those with young children who would benefit from a full-size field gave comments for the council to hear.
