Sixty-Something - There are some wonderful Hamptons walks we love to do besides the usual walk down the beach along the breaking surf and back.

Sixty-Something - This was the largest small-town big time parade I have ever seen.

Sixty-Something - Baby it's cold outside but warmer weather is just a month or so away. Yes I am thinking of the 2019 Hamptons summer season even though it is still winter everywhere in the USA! Swimming at the East End beaches, barbecues, outdoor parties, open windows at the house and so much more is just around the bend!

Sixty-Something - As I get older my fondness for things grows. However one thing I am never fond of is waking to have my driveway and car buried in deep heavy newly fallen snow.

Sixty-Something - I cannot explain to those who ski and have never done the Valle Blanche why it is difficult, no matter what level you ski because ski ability is not a huge factor in completing this feat as is endurance, strength and determination.

Sixty-Something - In the Hamptons there are so many sounds I have enjoyed and collected in my brain that conjure up great memories.

Sixty-Something - The phrase "long-suffering Jets fan" has become a staple in sports reporting.

Sixty-Something - That jacket now is one big memory and relic of high school sports. A time literally 50 years ago when I could run to race, jump to catch a football pass, crouch to catch a baseball game and carry a golf bag for 18 holes.

Sixty-Something - Sadly one day all those stories and words will be "discarded" with those photos.

Sixty-Something - I swear when I leave I can feel my clothes fit just a touch looser.

Sixty-Something - It is fun to make predictions for any new coming year.

Sixty-Something - It's definitely is a thrill to skate under that large iconic Christmas tree.

Sixty-Something - While I'm decorating outside I flashback to my dad, to my years with my children and finally how much I still love coming home to our house all lit up for Christmas.

Sixty-Something - What I always remember first was the strange thin lights that had a hot oil substance in them and bubbled when lit.

Sixty-Something - Each boot has multiple stories of trips in the White Mountains, the Green Mountains, the Rocky Mountains, the Alps, even Camp Hero in Montauk.

Sixty-Something - Mr. Bayles explains, "On the north side from west to east were the Matinecock, the Nissequog, the Setalcott, and the Corchaug (Cutchogue) tribes. On the south side in the same order were Canarsee, the Marsapeague, the Secatogue, the Unkechaug, the Shinnecock, and the Montauk tribes (Montauketts) or groups. The Manhassets occupied Shelter Island."

Sixty-Something - There are only so many sailing seasons in a sailor's life. 2018 was magnificent - I had many perfect breezes and powerful sunsets.

Sixty-Something - East Hampton Village folks seem to know Baldwin as a hometown presence.

Sixty-Something - The moment of truth came as we checked out and our worst fears, that all was too good to be true, were not realized.
