Harry Slutter's Art Reception: March 28, 2010, Northport NY

The reception is over... but the art remains! So if you missed the "official" reception today be sure not to miss Harry's terrific photos. They will be on view till April 15th at The Northport Tasting Room and Wine Cellar in the heart of Northport Village.

The happy artist in front of one very dramatic photo!

Everyone agreed, "This is by far, the number one photo show of the year!"

Here's just a peek at some of the artwork you'll see... so Go, Go, Go! You have until April 15, 2010 to make the trip to Northport -- it really is a village close by!

Jump For Joy... The Y Has Scheduled an EXTRA Hour of Pool Time Two Saturdays in April

THROW OFF YOUR WORKDAY DUDS AND JUMP FOR JOY!

On Saturday, April 3, 2010, (Albicocco Pool), and Saturday, April 10, 2010, (Albicocco Pool) the Huntington YMCA has scheduled an ADDITIONAL Hour of Lap Swimming from 6:00 to 7:00AM.

Storm Clouds Over The Lifeguard Stand: Robert Moses State Park, Summer 2009


Even though this picture looks like something out of a Cecil B DeMille Movie, ("The Ten Commandments" comes to mind when Moses parted the Red Sea), it is actually a picture that Sal passed along to us last summer and I "lost".
But March 1, 2010 is a great day to have found it. We're all a bit sick of snow and cold and storms and are probably yearning for the "Good Old Summertime". Well, we can get storms in the summertime too as this picture of the sky, the Atlantic, and a lonely-looking lifeguard stand, (and lifeguard), at Robert Moses State Park reminds us.
Thanks Sal... its a dandy.
Note, you should be able to see a larger version of the picture just by "clicking" on it.
