It\u2019s been a busy week. On Sunday Judson Memorial Church bid farewell to Michael and Alana. He\u2019ll be the senior minster at the Portland, OR. UCC. Alana completed her studies at Hunter and will be working with the elderly.<\/p>\n

I enjoy attending Jazz Tuesdays at the New York Baha\u2019l Center at 53 East 11 Street. The beginning of fall was celebrated with Mike Longo\u2019s swinging 17-piece big band.<\/p>\n

Wednesday: Ginger\u2019s on 7th Avenue and 33rd Street is a big, bustling Chinese restaurant with great food, great service and great prices i.e. a Tom Collins is only $4.50.<\/p>\n

On this Sept. 11 it was a typical NYC fall day and by late afternoon it was muggy. I watched firefighters in dress uniforms, jackets slung over their arms, returning from commemorative ceremonies. Some looked young enough to have been children in 2001. \u00a0On 9\/11\/ 2001, I stood on Avenue A and watched one of the towers collapse. At times it resembled an ancient ruin. I thought then, as I think now, that if the U. S. weren\u2019t so lopsided in its middle east interests it might not have occurred.<\/p>\n

Scottish Independence. Have you been listening to BBC 4? Questions about the big yes, if it occurs this Thursday. The pound has taken a beating with the uncertainties. If the Scots become independent will they have an independent military? Will companies flee south? What about banking? Finance? Kilt edged securities ( a phrase I borrowed from the Financial Times). The U. K. betting parlors are making out like bandits. Looking into your crystal ball, what do you predict? Since you asked, I\u2019m predicting the nos will win by a whisper.<\/p>\n
