Life is about reaching out and connecting.
Anne Carson, the genre-bending Canadian writer, wins the Nobel Prize in literature. Carson, 76, is an accomplished classicist who has taught at multiple colleges in the US and Canada.
Here I am this week at The River Cafe, an iconic restaurant located at 1 Water Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn where a scene from the new TV spin-off series NCI New York was shot. It's the building with the lights in the pic below. Great atmosphere. Great Food.
"NCI New York" co-stars LL Cool J reprising his role as NCIS senior special agent, Sam Hanna - and Scott Caan who plays NCIS Special Agent Nick Schaeffer, from Bay Ridge. If you love their chemistry - you'll love this show.
Many other scenes were shot in Brooklyn - this week featuring a waterfront street in Gerritsen Beach where several of my clients live.
Crossovers - The show will feature crossover characters from other NCIS series. CBS also presents crossovers with two of my other favorite shows - FBI and CIA - both filmed in the city with more NYC neighborhoods and energies that are all too familiar.
Over the years, my clients have included many members of law-enforcement in various fields, especially NYPD. Along the way, we solved crimes, did some press, and occasionally developed friendships.
Barry has remained a friend through decades of experiences. He is caring and compassionate, always taking the time to return a phone call or text.
Barry, a former NYPD detective, retired a few years ago, returning for a reading about his future. I told him he was going to move upstate and work in a local school system. That, and many other things I predicted for him, have come to pass over the years.
Barry once watched me morph into my Anunnaki persona - something not easily forgotten.
This morning Barry sent me this pic along with a Facebook article posted September 25, 2026. Congratulations to Barry and his co-workers.
- This week, we celebrated all of our safety officers and school resource officers for their essential role in maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all Crusaders. Their dedication keeps the M-W community safe. Thank you for all you do!
Congratulations Barry you deserve it.

Walking along 3rd Avenue around noon today, my attention, as well as that of other people, was riveted by the sound of a thunderous roar overhead headed.
Twenty-five years after witnessing a plane hit the North Tower on 9/11, it makes you pause, wonder, and for a second connecting the dots from that moment to this - to determine if there is a threat. Today, the US has many enemies, both foreign and domestic - exacerbated by the current administration.
We looked up to see unknown jet fighters overhead headed north towards Manhattan. I suggested to a man sitting at an outdoor cafe that it might have something to do with the U.S. military removing bombers from U.K. air base following a security incident on Sunday but he didn't think so.
For another second what came to mind was the international incident last week aboard a FlyDubai flight 1073 bound for Israel, where the co-pilot violently attacked the captain with a cockpit axe in an attempt to crash the aircraft, but was apprehended by several of the passengers
It makes me wonder what my soul is expecting to happen in the near future - processing past, present, and future incidents faster than a jet fighter.
Consciousness lies only partly in physical reality and mostly in the grids that create everything. Hmmm...
When I got home, an Internet search reported this.
The aircraft you saw flying over New York City today were F/A-18 fighter jets, not U.S. bombers. According to alerts from local officials, a pre-scheduled military flight path brought several fighter jets directly over the local waterways. The formation crossed over the Verrazano Bridge and traveled up the Hudson River toward the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. The movement was an official, planned flyover coordinated with New York City Emergency Management.
New York Comic Con (NYCC) officially returns, taking over the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center for a landmark celebration. As the East Coast's largest pop culture convention, this year is especially historic as it marks the 20th anniversary of the event.
To honor two decades in the city, organizers have unveiled a distinct Coney Island-inspired theme, blending beachside pop culture aesthetics and sideshow elements directly into the massive show floor. Fandoms across all mediums have major panels, showcases, and exclusives lined up for the four-day event.
A mysterious, highly anticipated "Universes Beyond" panel has been scheduled, heavily rumored by fans to formally unveil the upcoming Marvel-themed set. This year also introduces an official Autograph Drop-Off Program, allowing fans to have personal items signed by major guests without waiting in lines.
Artificial intelligence will not feature heavily on the exhibition floor or inside Artist Alley, as New York Comic Con has maintained strict policies against the sale and promotion of AI-generated art. Instead, AI's footprint inside the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center will be focused entirely on behind-the-scenes venue operations, digital logistics, and specialized industry panels.
Managing an attendance of roughly 250,000 fans requires extreme spatial coordination. The Javits wil utilize AI framework to that end. Advanced AI-integrated weapon detection lanes allow fans to walk through security checkpoints at a normal pace without removing cosplays, bags, or props, drastically shortening wait times compared to traditional metal detectors.

Unlike most annual showers that require staying up until the freezing pre-dawn hours, the Draconids are best viewed in the evening right after dark. The radiant point - the constellation Draco the Dragon - sits highest in the sky right after sunset for observers in the Northern Hemisphere. This makes it a perfect, bedtime-friendly stargazing event.
Meteor showers are a major catalyst for UFO (or UAP) report spikes. Statistically, UFO reports increase by an average of 29% during major annual meteor showers compared to normal daily baselines. The connection boils down to human psychology, rare astronomical phenomena, and data patterns.
During the peak of the 2019 Draconid meteor shower, residents across California flooded social media and local news outlets with dash cam footage of bright, mysterious lights, initially assuming they were witnessing a hypersonic UFO event before astronomers clarified it was comet debris.
World Space Week 2026 celebrates the exciting "Rocket Revolution" by highlighting the cutting-edge innovations and commercial technologies that are making space more accessible than ever before. Running from October 4 to 10, this global celebration honors major historical milestones while inspiring the next generation of explorers through unique events, including an exciting educational partnership between the European Space Agency and Pokemon.

The doctor in the post "World Sight Day" made think about all of the souls in the human experiment who feel lost at this time forever searching for the meaning of life and their place in it. It's an age old question referencing people, or wanderers, who want to bring greater purpose to their lives.

Your purpose at any given time is exactly what you're doing, where are you doing it, and who you're doing it with. In other words, it's your programming.
To my clients out there who are forever questing - it's time to stop overthinking and wondering where "the universe" will take you next.
People believe that if they spend all their money and go out and quest for their greater purpose in life, the money will come. Wrong - especially in today's world.
Don't plan to move unless you have a job and a place to live when you get there.
Don't go questing if you don't have money to do so or are relying on others to provide food and shelter. It will backfire on you.
Living "off grid" is not a safe place to be in today's world.
We've got midterm elections coming up and whether you're political or not - it's time you realize - if you haven't already - that you should never believe anything Trump says. I keep reading people who voted for him in the last election and regret it. He's programmed to be a dangerous man whose emotional and cognitive issues are declining. There's a charisma about him, especially when he uses his lilting voice to convince you of something that will never happen or is just a figment of his imagination. It's time to stop being fooled and get him out of office before it's too late.
A broken president is a reflection of a broken society. In whatever time remains ... make change.

I have always been a teacher - starting my career at age 20 after finishing my masters degree at NYU. From my very first reading back in June 1990, a fellow Public School teacher named Andrea, a professional psychic - told me that my destiny is, and has always been, to be a teacher.
She also said I would pair that with my degree in Psychology and become a psychic - eventually writing something of great importance that would help millions of people. Andrea was one of many psychics I met along the way - who could see Z near me - all describing him exactly in the same way. But that's a blog for another day.

Today we focus on honoring all the teachers around the world who do their best to inspire, nurture, and empower the minds of tomorrow.
A teacher's life is often not easy having to deal with all of the issues I've blogged about over the years and the challenges met by politics, school systems, funding, parents and more. By the time the end of the school year rolls around most teachers are totally burnt out, especially the way society unfolds today. It is never easy ...
The landscape of education must change with evolving society. For better or worse, everything must keep pace because that is part of the algorithm of the human journey.
The mind is a computer in a manner of speaking and processes as such in code. Unless it is damaged, it will continue to grow and adapt, which takes us to another subject.
Today teachers face a new frontier with Artificial Intelligence both in and out of the classroom as many students are homeschooled. With all that's being said about AI - like it or not - the positive aspects of it in education outweigh the negatives.
Students today are programmed to incorporate AI into their curriculum and lives no matter what their level of education.
We all know that nothing replaces a dedicated teacher and their desire to help students move forward, but as with each generation - dramas arise as teachers try to help their students along the way.
People who recognize - or remember how the simulation ends - sometimes ask me, "Do you think AI is going to be the downfall of humanity?"
To me, it's just another drama. When the simulation closes, everything is gone.
That is your lesson for today ...
In the blink of an eye (of newt) October delivers Halloween - and the ultimate month for horror fans as networks and streaming platforms unleash their best spooky movies, new slasher series, and psychological thrillers. The annual "Spooktober" rollout is officially underway for October 2026, bringing a massive wave of fresh scares and nostalgic marathons. Boo! Not my thing.
If we're talking about spooky in October ... this takes us close to the midterm elections. To be perfectly honest, I haven't followed any of it - even Kathy Hochul running again for governor of New York. I just assume she'll win. The scariest politician of all ... ta da ...You know who I mean! The ultimate Trickster. Boo! Rewrite!
