Waiting for Sandy’s Left Hook Punch
NOAA
Patiently waiting for Sandy’s Left Hook Punch to hit the NYC area. First, we picked up Mom from Spring Creek – where there’s a threat of a storm surge – and then evacuated a friend’s mother who lives in Lido Beach – in flood zone A. Enzo and I secured our new Piaggio BV 350s safely in the shed and pulled our two Honda cycles into the backyard and covered them with a tarp. After a rather low-key and civilized shopping experience at the BJs at Canarsie Market – we are now stocked up with enough food for a week or two. For dinner, we poured the wine, said a berucha for a passover without incident. Elijah should be here any minute now.
It is eerily calm outside, a soft breeze with a bit of aged leaves and patchouli in the air. I walked to Lords Bakery for some apple pie and ice-cream and got there just before Andrew was closing up. Flatbush Junction was like a ghost town. With the trains already shut down, taxi cab drivers hawked for dollar fares to wherever. The walk back home was equally enjoyable. The rustle of leaves, the wind chasing debris down the avenue, turning down onto our ancient tree-lined street, an arboretum of towering century-old beauties – I wondered whether these gentle giants might uproot and wreak havoc on these historic and picturesque Dutch colonials – each one unique in their own design.
Earlier today on our garden terrace, I took pictures of our purple mums that finally all opened this week. The rust and burnt orange mums in the front yard have yet to all bloom. I’m hoping they aren’t Sandy blasted into oblivion.

SET OF GLEE: DISTRESSING DETAILS
After an exhaustive search, set decorator Robert Kensinger found the janitor’s sink at an L.A.-area salvage yard and paired it with a beat-up cabinet. Though he added crystal glassware from H.D. Buttercup and artwork by Frank Jump and Gérard Uféras, Kensinger was careful not to over-decorate. “As time goes on, things will change, as if Kurt and Rachel went out and bought things or shopped at a flea market,” he says.

Apparently, a photo of mine and a watercolor by Sandra Walker from my book The Fading Ads of New York City (History Press, 2011) that are used for a set in the latest season of Glee are being featured in this week’s EW! Just ordered them online. Can’t wait to read the article.

Born in a remote fisherman village in Quebec in 1971, with a pencil in my hand, I knew very fast that my path would be different. I was building my own universe in secret, while seeming to follow a normal path. I was introduced to art by my father, who was painting as a hobby in our basement studio. I started to paint more seriously at 18, after a night of love with a muse. From that point on, I decided that I would from now on do only what I really loved in my life.
I am attracted more and more to large-scale project, like the creation of my dream, a traveling carousel “The Wheel of Freedom”, and multi-media seven minutes of whirling magical experience, for free, traveling in all big cites of the world. – Carlito Dalceggio Website

SIGILLUM NOVI BELGII – Seal of the New Belgium – Museum of the City of New York

Seal of The Province of New Netherland, 1623
Two shields constitute the center of the seal. Superimposed upon a larger shield is a small shield depicting, in diagonal position, a beaver. A string of wampum, the dominant motif of the larger shield, encircles the small shield. Directly above the two shields and forming the crest is a count’s coronet positioned between single stars. Encircling the two shields is the printed legend, SIGILLUM NOVI BELGII. The whole is encircled by a sharply serrated wreath.The beaver, signifying continuing prosperity, was the commodity upon which the original commerce of New Netherland was founded. In this era, both the beaver skin and wampum were used as money. The coronet of the count demonstrates that the Province of New Netherland had the armorial rights of a countship. The legend, SIGILLUM NOVI BELGII or “Seal of the New Belgium”, recalls an earlier time when the Belgium and Dutch Netherlands were one political entity. – SM Publications – The Resource Center for Silver Collectors, Dealers & Appraisers
