Small but strong, he is cutting himself free and learning to move again.

Gates Up At The End Of The Season

The Pleasant Valley Playhouse is shuttered for the season and the audience is gone (for now).

With Labor Day taking families away, streets are quiet, still and empty of children's voices (for now).

Waters from the latest storm have receded, leaving the creeks shallow and still (for now).

Pleasant Valley Pool is dormant and still (until next year).
Red and orange leaves will fall soon and snow will surely pile up soon after that.
Scenes like the ones above, bearing their own individual differences, will appear again next year.
I look forward to seeing them all again in the sunrise of yet another green season.

Thank you to ALL OF THE HANDS that made THIS a reality today.

We are ALL standing on the shoulders of men and women (of ALL kinds) whose DECADES of hard work on streets, in classrooms, in offices, in courthouses and on battlefields have brought us this victory.

...and as an ADDED bonus, @AC360 replied to my #NY4M Instagram Pic on Twitter!

Not even Spiderman could spin a web strong enough to stop Pathmark from economic free fall.
