Dana & Dave!

I met Dana and Dave after taking my favorite NYC transportation, anyone? Yes, the Staten Island ferry.

We had a lot of fun going from one location to another and even getting kicked out of one, because no pros were allowed! I tried to pretend I didn't know how to use my equipment, really work the dumb blond thing, but we still got booted! It didn't really matter because we ended up at the boardwalk where Dave had proposed to Dana and it was wonderful! I loved hearing all their stories about how they met and fell in love!









Dana is a sign language interpreter in training, she is telling Dave " I love you!"



And last, a kiss where they got engaged!


Congratulations you two, you're a perfect match!

Michael Jackson follow up!

The day of Michael's funeral I decided to take a ride back to the Apollo and see if there was anything going on. I was stunned to find 25 yards or so of paper filled with messages for MJ. There was even a plastic tarp placed over the paper that then got signed as well!

It was very touching to see the range of ethnicity and ages that this man and his music influenced. I am sure that that very fact, that his music can bring people together who may not normally be together, was a great source of pride and happiness for Michael.


















And the vendors! 125th Street has become lined with vendors selling everything MJ you can imagine!





..even home made silver gloves!
