A Milestone to Newark, NJ

This week is commemoration of the Newark riot of 1967, whose epicenter is on Springfield Avenue and Bergen Street. This is the same intersection I commute back home, sometimes.

It is quite different from photos of that fateful day. It is much more peaceful and civilized. There is a theater...an Apple Bees...Home Depot... apartment complexes and condos.

My Annual Pig Roast Party and a Special Event

I have a pig roast party coming up. It will be different this time. My son graduated from Vorhees High and he is going to Rutgers University. It will be our usual community summer party and an added special graduation celebration for my son.

So, what is new this time? My daughter is redoing our family room for our guests and my townmates.

She is the artist of the family. My wife and I trust her decision. Our family room is partially done and I think I like what she has done!

Independence Day in Small Town New Jersey

We saw fireworks in Califon tonight during this holiday's celebration of 4th of July.
It is truly an Americana of a small town celebration of a very important event. I wish I was able to take pictures. I do not have a sophisticated camera to take photos with minimum light. But, I do have pictures of parade in Lebanon Borough for similar event.

There was a similar event in the island of Manhattan on a more glamorous and spectacular ways...more impressive fireworks than Califon's.

Either way, it was Americana.

My Cheap Entertainment at Night

Streaming on my favorite radio stations is such a treat in the northeast region. Virgin Radio in London is another story.

It is my downtime streaming the radio station.

Happy 4th of July!

There were 47 immigrants granted US citizenship in Newark, NJ today. I can relate to to them. It is the best gift for them this important day.

They will be a productive citizens and their generations to come.

This country will provide its citizen the opportunity to achieve their potentials.

It is truly the land of opportunity.

Happy Independence Day!

Freedom To Cherish for my Family and Generation to Come

I look forward to this holiday...family friends and BBQ outdoor. It is a celebration of being free and respect the freedom of fellow citizens as defined by our Constitution. There were and has been sacrifice by our fellow citizen to be free in action and thought. It is my outmost respect.

I am very fortunate.

Salud to our independence!

Life Goes On

One of my dear classmate has passed away. There have been pouring of sympathy from my batch mates. I felt obligated to send my condolences but I do respect their privacy at this time.

He was a good man!
