PROUD THAT with hard work, discipline and sacrifice, we have paid off the Maspeth house bought in 2006, when Sara was just a 4 year-old about to enter St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic School as a pre-K. It's good to begin the new year with zero mortgage balance on a property that since its purchase has more than doubled in value!

A SCHEFFLERA BANYAN stands guard on my old stoop this summer. I found this lone behemoth in a nursery on 80th Street across St. John's Cemetery in Middle Village last year, well within the route of one of my weekend walks. I didn't buy it right away, wondering where the heck will I put it in the winter, but after clearing up an outsize space by the thermostat last week, I decided I had to go back to Joe's Greenery with my truck and finally have the monster. Now its Mothman has a new stomping ground in Maspeth in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
