“At The Cloisters, NYC”
We, your devoted readers, are
wishing you Happy Holidays and that in 2026, you will have plenty of music and toons about Trump’s demise to post. We are wishing for the demise of all his flying monkeys too.
Excellent wish C K I second it. The lighting of the Cloisters is fascinating. I’ve never been there so I’ll have to put it on my list.
