A little "Tid-byte" from Cayce:
On January 1st, we love to celebrate the new year. So, while we revel in the optimism of a fresh start, let's remember some great people who love or loved New York and who happened to celebrate their birthday on this date.
Alfred Stieglitz
Frank Langella
Betsy Ross
J.D. Salinger
Finally, we celebrate his birthday January 25th, but we think of him more now because he wrote the lyrics to "Auld Lang Syne"--the lovely Robert Burns. To learn a little more about him, watch this:
Dear LittleBytesOfTheBigApple: Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.
I'm told saying "rabbit" three times on the first of every month is an Irish custom to bring good luck to both the speaker and the listener. So, good luck to LittleBytes for January 2009.
I so enjoy learning and laughing about New York City from your LittleBytes. Keep up the good work.
Hey . . . why doesn't Letterman pick this up? LittleBytesOfTheBigApple could replace his "Moments in Presidential History" routine now that our favorite bozo is almost moot.
Great work, Robert and Cayce.
We want more!
XOXO
