Currently Watching - Belly. 1998.
One Of My All Time Favorite Hip Hop Films. The Acting In Most Hip Hop Movies Is Usually Atrocious But DMX Acted His Ass Off In This One.
Rest Eazy. Earl Simmons.

I Remember Late 90’s Hip Hop Stagnating A Bit & There Weren’t As Many Back To Back Solid Releases As There Was Prior To ‘97 So I Went Underground. There Were All These New Dudes Killin’ It Below The Surface & I Knew One Day They’d Blow Up. U Could See 'Em One By One Gettin’ Deals, Debut Albums & All That. It Was Frustrating Tryna Convice Heads To Listen To This New Shit Cuz Underground Was About To Take Over, Nah They Were More Concerned About The Jiggy Era Bling Shit. I Was So Far Underground I Didn’t Notice Who DMX Was. It Was Actually My Little Brother Who Put Me On To Him. The First Time I Heard Damien, It Was A Wrap. So Thank You DMX For Providing Real Heads Something To Fuck Wit During Those Dark Ages & Peace To My Little Brother For Opening My Ears To The Man. ✌
Rest In Power - Dark Man X - Earl Simmons.

Cherry trees show off during two seasons: spring and fall. In the fall they have bright red and orange foliage that brightens up a grey day.

The Temple of Love renovation was completed in 2016 thanks to a gift from Angello Martinelli in memory of his wife Carol Martinelli. It has been a thrill for us and visitors to see the water cascading down the Temple and to the pools for the first time since Samuel Untermyer was still living here.

Last week I visited the Untermyer Gardens in Yonkers. I took the Metro North and walked up quite a hill to get there, and it was worth it! The gardens have really beautiful views. It is a small property compared to the botanical gardens I have been visiting, so it didn’t take long for me to see everything, but it’s the kind of place that makes you want to stop and stay awhile, I brought a book and enjoyed reading on benches throughout the gardens. There were a handful of succulents, but overall a nice mix of different plants (marigolds were in abundance when I visited). The architecture was beautiful (the water feature in the walled garden was a favorite). Some of the garden areas feel like ruins, with columns still standing, but their former states have been lost. The gardens are located in an unusual area, surrounded by medical buildings, but stepping into the walled garden you feel like you have entered into a very special place. The grounds have a lot of potential and I hope that the idea is to preserve as well as to rebuild some of the areas to their former states. A lovely day trip.
