(Jun 16) I have been busy. Busy is neither good nor bad, just busy.

So many things nailed to this pole …. that absolutely no one cared about.

This is not at all what I expected when I decided to shoot this scene

Now this, is what I was looking for

This view will never be the same

Not because of the demolition and coming construction

But because the man whose office this was for 30 years has died.
(Jun 2) I haven’t been in Blue Point in a very long time.
I had a flashback to high school and a kid named Tim I had a mainframe class with
(May 29) Attempts to return to Brooklyn continue to be frustrated.
(May 28) I’ve passed through Northport hundreds of times on the LIRR, but today was the first time I set foot on Northport soil.

It looks like any other Long Island marina

The village resembles Port Jefferson

Except Northport apparently had a streetcar

And there in the middle of suburbia… a farm
(May 21) As soon as I saw Prime Ave, I knew I was back in the old hood. I lost my mainframe virginity in that neighborhood.

I didn’t recognize the area, just the sign

We used to come here to de-stress from writing code, at lunchtime

Always interesting to note WWI plaques always assumed there’d only be one world war

It’s surprising how much I don’t remember about the place

But the willows, those I remember

These Long Island stone bridges are of a certain era

These are apparently an invasive species

But now we’ve pretty much seen it all

Time to go. Shall we do it again in another 25 years?

And finally, we arrive at the place of my former employment. The data center was where “Elite Sports Performance” is now. You entered through the two-story building to the left.
