‘Magical, Musical Moments' IX


Beari Productions’ ninth version of their popular “Magical, Musical Moments” has come a long way from the original, presented in 1997. Back then, a dozen or so elegant ladies in evening gowns sat onstage with plastic champagne glasses. Their escorts sat beside them in full black tie. This weekend’s “Magical, Musical Moments IX: Back To Basics” featured a larger, but still well-dressed, cast of mostly younger performers, who sang and danced with unbridled energy.

Da Nang, a city with an historic past


As I walked over a bridge in Da Nang, I noticed that every store had carved signs in the same color, making me think the town has its own zoning rules to preserve its charm. Stu collects historic ship models, and for his birthday I had bought him one that came with a stamp “Made in Vietnam.” I never expected to see it for sale in Vietnam, because I rarely find what is exported.

Symphony of Support for Special Kids

Music, dancing and song filled the night at Russo’s on the Bay last week. Meanwhile, a ferocious blizzard played its own dissonant musical notes, whistling and howling through the darkness. Back inside, politicians spoke, videos played on multiple screens and more than 300 guests felt the warmth. This was not a concert or a symphony in the classical sense. Not at all. New York Families for Autistic Children (NYFAC) created a very special harmony as they honored outstanding citizens in a symphony of support for special kids.

Italian Jam Tart – Crostata

I am going to share with you my “go-to” dessert for any occasion. It is my recipe for a crostata or Italian jam tart. It is simple to make and as delicious to look at as it is to eat. Basically, it is jam sandwiched between two layers of buttery dough. However, it is so much more than that. Besides being delicious, this recipe has many recipe virtues – it is quick and easy to make – it is tolerant and it is versatile. What more could you ask for?

Our adventure begins . . .

I’m all set packing my bags for a whirlwind trip to Southeast Asia. As travelers know, the challenge begins with deciding what to pack. By now I should be an expert, but being a minimalist is not in my nature. Since Stu and I will be on a cruise ship for 13 days and nights I chose to keep my wardrobe to black, white and one red pants suit.

Killing Kompany Kontinues ...

From Sherlock Holmes in the late 1800s to…well, Sherlock Holmes in the early 2000s, people love a good mystery. Whether in book form, film, or theatre, nothing else comes close to intriguing a reader or an audience. Mysteries also engage television viewers. If it’s presented well, he or she can’t help guessing, “Who done it?” And that very question, “Who done it?” may well be the answer to the enduring success of the Killing Kompany.
