So happy new year tro you, not-so-blue moon. I love the 1950s doo-wop song about you.

Quote of the day as you are on your way!

"He wants to steal it for his drag queen shows," deadpanned his female assistant.

I was up in the Bronx when I passed a business at 1084 Morris Park. It had the following sign in their window:

"Whines are the products of sour grapes."
