OUT & ABOUT
BY JILL DAVIS
I know, it’s February. Cold, short days and, as we know, it
arrived with a clobber of a snowstorm. And in late-breaking
news, Puxatawny Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog’s Day, predicting
another six weeks of winter. Yuck. Well at least February
is a short month.
And now, for your entertainment, here are some humorous
quotes in time for Valentine’s Day:
“By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll be happy.
If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.” – Socrates
“You can’t buy love, but you can pay heavily for it.” – Henny
Youngman
“Love thy neighbor—and if he happens to be tall, debonair and
devastating, it will be that much easier.” – Mae West
“People who throw kisses are hopelessly lazy.” – Bob Hope
“My friends tell me I have an intimacy problem. But they don’t
really know me.” – Garry Shandling
“My wife was afraid of the dark. Then she saw me naked and
now she’s afraid of the light.” – Rodney Dangerfield
NYC INDOOR
DINING
REOPENING
You’re in luck if
you’d like dinner
out on Valentine’s
Day. At press time,
indoor dining at
NYC restaurants
will be reopening
on February 14. The
maximum capacity is
set at 25%, so best
to make a reservation
soon if you want to
get a table. (If you want to venture a little further to Nassau
County, restaurants there are open at 50% capacity.) Note
that recent trends indicate that it’s becoming more fashionable
to have dinner earlier, so take that into consideration
when booking a reservation.

BAYSIDE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
20th Annual Winter Art Show (Virtual)
February 1 - 28
Baysidehistorical.org
The Society holds its art show every winter, and even current
restrictions wouldn’t stop them. The whole month-long
show is being held online this year, and while it may not be
as much fun as strolling through the impressive Fort Totten
castle, it’s kind of nice not to have to get all bundled up.
Visit the organization’s website and check out the beautiful
oils, watercolors and photographs.
