I see our Brooklyn Borough President, Marty Markowitz, walking in the park sometimes when I unicycle by, dog on leash.
This morning he came to Bark the Herald Angels Sing, a big off leash event for dogs and their companions in the park. Gala was too nervous to get her picture taken with Santa.
Anyway, Mary McInerney, who for years was president of FIDO, is leavingn her post. So Marty Markowitz named today Mary McInerney day, and presented her with a big thing, all inscribed with his speech and the fact that today was declared her day!
Last week I saw him at the HUGE outdoor minora lighting for Chanakuh (it was the world’s biggest minora for years until recently they built a bigger one in Manhattan).
When he was NY state senator, he gave us free wine tastings in the park picnic house. He brought Melanie, Canned Heat, and Country Joe and the Fish for a free Woodstock 25 years concert, and lots more fun stuff.
Don’t you wish your politicians were as much fun?
