Nothing with this. Just a feeling about this western area of Long Island City/Astoria.
Title: Winter
Artist: Jean Antoine Houdon (French, Versailles 1741–1828 Paris)
Date: 1787
Culture: French, Paris
Medium: Bronze
A frileuse is a woman subject to cold. A marble version (Musée Fabre, Montpellier), dated 1783, was originally intended as an allegory of Winter. For the Museum's bronze, cast by Houdon himself and coming from the collection of the duc d'Orléans, Houdon stripped the spiraling columnar composition to its bare essentials. The girl's tremulous flesh is offset by her tightly drawn shawl, elegant but hardly adequate.

Located at the northwest corner of Park Avenue and 60th Street, the church was built primarily during 1931–1933. Church services began in 1933 but financial impacts of the Great Depression and shortages of World War II prevented the mosaics planned for the interior from being executed until 1948–49. The church was designed by Ralph Adams Cram, who is known for his Gothic Revival ecclesiastical architecture. While designing this church, he used a combination of Romanesque and Byzantine Revival styles instead.

This plot was to have been a 17 story hotel, though as with many sites there was either a stop work order (SWO), or the deal fell through completely.

I feel how this section of Long Island City is on the brink of blasting off on the super sonic gentrification rocket, as the LIC BID (Long Island City Business Improvement District) recently expanded into this area, and the building pace will increase significantly by Spring/Summer 2025. Just a hunch. Of all things, there's a new Starbucks on the strip, across Queens Blvd from this site. The Starbucks was the catalyst.
I could be completely wrong, or completely right

Jollibee is a Filipino chain of fast food restaurants
History
In 1975, Tony Tan Caktiong and his family opened a Magnolia ice cream parlor in Cubao, Quezon City, located northeast of Manila, Philippines. The outlet later began offering hot meals and sandwiches. When the food items became more popular than ice cream, the family decided to convert the ice cream parlor into a fast food restaurant, which became the first Jollibee outlet in 1978. Management consultant Manuel C. Lumba advised the family on the change in strategy. Jollibee was initially named "Jolibe", but changed its name to "Jollibee".
Mascots
Jollibee mascot in Trece Martires, Cavite
Introduced in 1980, Jollibee is a large anthropomorphic bee mascot dressed in a red blazer, shirt, and chef's hat. Jollibee's design is based on Mickey Mouse. The mascot was designed to epitomize Filipino optimism. Tony Tan, Jollibee's founder, has compared the mascot's character to the Filipino working class, stating that the bee "hops around and produces sweet things for life, and is happy even though it is busy". Jollibee developed additional mascots, some of which were featured in Jollitown, a children's show aired in the Philippines.

Able and Cain in hand, this morning was great, as I walked the 6 Avenues north to my appointment at The Medical Complex, and in 30 degree weather nonetheless. Plus, I walked back too. Felt amazing. Ascending to my 4th Floor Walk-up Penthouse Apartment took a bit, though I continue to gain strength.
I love those glasses, they're awesome and fun. They're blue blockers, to block the blue light from a computer, tablet, phone. I wear them all the time and now own like 12 pairs in various styles and colors.

In music, syncopation is a variety of rhythms played together to make a piece of music, making part or all of a tune or piece of music off-beat. More simply, syncopation is "a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm"
~ Wikipedia
-
The individual windows and door of this building remind me of The Syncopated Clock song and visual from the CBS TV show titled "The Late Show", which my parents frequently watched when I was a child. And I think about that whenever I walk past this building, which is typically twice per weekday on way to and from my office.

"The Syncopated Clock" is a piece of light music by American composer Leroy Anderson, which has become a feature of the pops orchestra repertoire.

William Tarr’s 1974 weathering Cor-Ten steel black sculpture stands atop the plaza of Martin Luther King Jr. High School down the street from Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side at 66th and Amsterdam. All four sides of this cube include important dates in the life of the civil rights leader as well as famous quotes.
The cube is also covered with lots of cryptic initials. BTWHS/MC/CTS/BU is a list of his schools: Booker T. Washington High School, Morehouse College, Crozer Theological School and Boston University. SCLC/MIA are the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Montgomery Improvement Association. On another side are the initials of his family: CSK is Coretta Scott King, and and a block with his four children: Yolanda King, Martin Luther King III, Dexter King and Bernice King. ‘RDA stands for the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy; ‘JJ for the Rev. Jesse Jackson and ‘BR for Bayard Rustin. Among the dates in his life are 12/10/64, for his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize and 4/4/68 for the date of his assassination.
“Let us be dissatisfied until every man can have food and material necessities for his body, culture and education for his mind, freedom and human dignity for his sprit.”

About the Artist:
William (Bill) Tarr (1925 – 2006) was a sculptor, painter, photographer, magician, bestselling author, husband, father, and dedicated artist for over 50 years. His monumental public works have been seen by millions from all over the world, and his 30 x 30 x 30 ft. welded steel memorial to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King is perhaps New York City’s most renowned public work. Yet, Bill remains relatively unknown.

Edwardian architecture usually refers to a Neo-Baroque architectural style that was popular for public buildings in the British Empire during the Edwardian era. Architecture up to 1914 is commonly included in this style. It can also be used to mean various styles in middle-class housing, including relaxed versions of Arts and Crafts architecture.

Vanishing Cornwall (1967)
~ Daphne du Maurier
I had also read her novel The House on the Strand which was excellent
The author had been an English novelist, biographer and playwright.
-
The novel blends history, folklore, and travelogue to capture the essence of Cornwall, the county she called home. The book, which includes photographs by her son Christian Browning, is a personal and evocative exploration of the region's landscape, legends, and changing way of life, lamenting the impact of mass tourism while celebrating the enduring spirit of the area.
--
Unbeknownst to many, in 1952 Ms. du Maurier had penned a book of short stories titled "The Apple Tree", within which included a story titled "The Birds". That story was the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's film of the same name, released in 1963, the same year that The Apple Tree was reprinted as The Birds and Other Stories. In 2009, the Irish playwright Conor McPherson adapted the story for the stage at Dublin's Gate Theatre.

Publishers can be very smart

What's even more interesting is how in 1940, Alfred Hitchcock had directed a movie titled 'Rebecca', of which Daphne du Maurier had written the novel

Yesterday, I went for my paratransit* assessment. It went well, and they had provided me with roundtrip transpiration. The paratransit is so when I'm ready to return to my place of employment, I will have an alternate means of getting there, as there's no way I can scale the nearby elevated subway stairs.
This is all driving me crazy, as up until late August I would walk the 24 minutes to work and back, every single day, rain or shine. Then the Kemosabe Liquid Sunshine side effects became overwhelming and based on my physical condition at that time, I was left with no other choice but to stay home and work remotely. The ultimate plan is for me to initially go into my office one day a week for starters. Outside of that one day, the remaining I will work remote. I've been remote since early September and I just hate it. Although under the circumstances, I'm grateful for the option. In theory, the in-person dates will increase over time, as I continue to slowly heal from the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN).
I'm a business oriented individual and I'm keeping the faith it will all happen, as I need to be in an office setting, not in my apartment

(*) Paratransit is a type of public transport service that supplements fixed-route mass transit by providing individualized rides without fixed routes or timetables. Paratransit services may vary considerably on the degree of flexibility they provide their customers. At their simplest they may consist of a taxi or small bus that will run along a more or less defined route and then stop to pick up or discharge passengers on request

As recommended by my Healthcare Proxy, a 42-year veteran NYC Hospitals Registered Nurse

Ask the phlebotomist to have your blood drawn at alternating sites to avoid scarring your vessel/vein when drawing the blood from the same. Apply direct pressure for 2 minutes immediately to the puncture site to avoid bruising and cover it with band-aid.
Chemo infusion can be hard on the vessels and should also be administered at alternating arms and different vessels. It’s ideal that the IV access for Chemo should be started from the distal part of your arm (like the hand or above the wrist) and Avoid over a bent of the arm, which can limit your movement and bending the limb can cause “extravasation of Chemo into your tissues”, leaking of Chemo resulting to swelling and pain.
-
Per this recommendation, my infusions were on alternating arms each time. And I've no scarring as a result.

The individual's whom work in the Infusion Center are the most professional people. And it's so comforting. And they're all women and they are all awesome.

Історія Церкви | History of the Church
...According to the records of the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church, we know that some Ukrainians lived in Astoria before 1900. More Ukrainan Catholics settled in Astoria, noticeably after 1910, when the Subway Line was extended into Long Island. Lacking a parish of their own, they became parishioners of St. George's Church in Lower Manhattan or Holy Ghost Church in Brooklyn.
