because I promised …  ZogSports is awesome.  The idea is to get a team together or join an existing one as an individual to make new friends and raise money and awareness for the charity of your choice.  Another way to change up your day between work and home and meet new like-minded people.  Go for it.   Perhaps we should get a tumblr team going - or is there one?

He wasn’t loquacious or demonstrative but he was thoughtful and aware and kind. And, a man worth listening to.    StoryCorps near City Hall on Centre Street between Duane and Worth. Check out their mission and the possibility of partnering with them.  Recordings are stored in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. And, if you’re enamored, considering donating or voting for them at the MEMBERS PROJECT.

SUNDAY FUNDAY Stop by MARTE (Manhattan Artisan and Trade Emporium) hosted this weekend by PS 63 on 3rd Street between Avenue A and 1st street.  This is a new series of destination markets organized to support public schools.  Give your support or check it out to become a vendor - booths start at $40.00.   Get further inspired by heading over the Williamsburg bridge and into Brooklyn for Renegade Craft Fair.  Totally worth the trip.  The vendors are fantastic.  A nice surprise for a craft fair fiend like me who thinks she’s seen it all.   Or, just forgo it all with a trip to City Field.  Scalp a ticket, get a shake shack shake and pray for shade.  That’s what I’ll be doing anyway. Happy sunday, ya’ll.
