Tony Conte was my tailor for many years dating back to the late ’ 80s . He was very talented and a good man who knew everyone worth knowing . One thing is certain , he loved his family and spoke of them often . I ’ m sorry to learn of his passing but happy to see this tribute to him .

Calendar , October
In reference to the WaterFire lightings in October ’ s can ’ t-miss events [ Looking Ahead : November ], here is a song for WaterFire , which has the good sense to say , “ As we gather at WaterFire , please wear a mask whether or not you ’ re vaccinated .” If we can see all of your face , you ’ re signaling , “ I ’ m a disgrace . I don ’ t give a hoot about you . My own safety ’ s trivial too .”
