“Road Long, But We Have Endurance”
New York experienced a harsh winter with record-setting snowfalls (over 43 inches) so we vowed that, once summer starts, we will be outside! Well, with the support of our new mayor and the New York Knicks, we kept that promise. Here is my take on wins and woes of the season.
