Mets Spring Training by Marilyn Supon |
|
 |
To say that Marilyn Supon is a "Mets fan" is
a gross understatement. Marilyn is a true believer in anything and
everything Mets. So much so that she, and her husband Bill, bought a
house in Port St. Lucie, Florida so that she could be near the Mets
for Spring Training. When Spring Training is over, they move back up
here to be near Citi Field for the regular Mets season. |

Low 'n Slow by Larry Sribnick |
|
 |
I think every pilot will tell you that they yearn to fly the way it was in the early days of aviation, “Low ‘n Slow,” hence, the name of this column. Rather than flying at 10,000’, we’re talking about flying at 1000’ or less and instead of 175 mph, we’re talking about, at times, flying at 50 mph or less. My purpose will be to bring you along on the trips I take, Low ‘n Slow, and show you parts of Long Island and the world that you can’t see any other way. Click here to read the latest articles. |

Thoughts,
Ramblings & Other Absurdities by Angela Giannotti |
|
 |
Welcome
to an erstwhile column. And to all those who are too old to blog and too
young to not express your feelings, this is a place where you too can
expound. I wrote a column for the Moriches Bay Tide for several years and
for Dan’s Papers for one. But that was in the early 90’s. I loved having a
column and began to hone it to a nice, neat 400 words or so." Click here for
