Introduction
My father died on May 9, 2012 at 79 years of age, having lived a full life. Maybe he could have lived longer with a better diet, more exercise, more money, and less stress - those factors may have given him a boost and added a few more years onto his life. But I will never know the answer to that question. What if circumstances were different? Would that have changed anything?
Performance Review: SlideAttack

Slide Attack is a seasoned collection of five fantastic musicians fluent in the language of swing, blues, modern jazz and a wide spectrum of genres. Boldly led by two lead trombonists, Alan Goidel and Howard Levy, the band fills the room with the brassy harmonies of well-chosen jazz arrangements, both old and new. At the 9th Note Jazz Supper Club in Stamford, Connecticut on August 3, 2016, this group gave the audience a sufficient helping of each instrument that also included Paul Mariconda - piano, Chuck Zeuren - drums, and Dr. Lyn Christe - bass.

In mid-August of 2015, Kerryl and I made the leap to work and live in St. John, Virgin Islands. It may be no surprise to you that one of the most alluring features of our move was to escape the cold weather and snow. After both growing up in New Jersey, living in New York and retreating to Maine, we decided we had enough of snow and ice.
Last year, as our swan song, we spent a Valley Forge winter in Maine, where we counted fifteen snow storms (this tally came about putting together our snow plow bills). Around Christmas, both of us had cabin fever, suffered from lack of exercise, were sunlight deprived and, having become so batty, were singing, dancing and (fighting) to a Hawaiian Christmas song, "Mele Kalikimaka," at home and on Emden Pond, a nearby lake.

Unknown to many residents, the Town of Warwick offers challenging hiking trails for people of all ages and abilities.
With stunning vistas, beautiful waterfalls and plenty of roadside parking, the town has easy access to he world-famous Appalachian Trail directly off several highways.
"It's amazing how scenic and wild the Warwick section of the Appalachian Trail is," says Gene Giordano, AT Community Leader. "There are relatively flat sections that families can enjoy and rough-and-tumble sections that will satisfy the more serious hiker."
