The wind kept rising until all the trees flexed. Branches were lost, great limbs came crashing down — this is the way nature prunes her wares. In winter, when things are bare, she gets to the brittle parts. February has brought a steady change in weather: Rough then mild, snow then rain, and the aforementioned gale starts up and lasts for days.

Mardi Gras, which takes place every year on the eve of Ash Wednesday, invites observers to overfill themselves with intoxicating libation and rich food in advance of the decidedly less exciting season of Lent that follows. According to tradition dating back to the late 1600s in America, Mardi Gras is license to act up. The night kicks off in the lobby of the theater with live singers starting at 7 p.m. At the bar, Hurricanes will be flowing like it’s Pat O’Brien’s on Bourbon Street. In addition, ...

It was a culinary and historic disaster: bird flu striking the Crescent Duck Farm, the last duck farm on Long Island. Some 99,000 ducks, the farm’s entire flock, had to be euthanized because of bird flu. The future of the Crescent Duck Farm involves several thousand eggs. Not only is Crescent Farm the last of what had been many duck farms on Long Island, it has produced — and I think many would agree — the finest ducks to eat, certainly in the nation and probably in the world. “Crescent Duck was started by Henry Corwin in 1908 in Aquebogue ...

The world can be a scary place. Bird flu is threatening to be the next pandemic. President Elon Musk gutting the government. The growing percentage that an asteroid will strike Earth. Thankfully, trumping them all is spring training, which has just gotten underway. Yes, baseball is back. It’s a good time to write about the 65th anniversary this Sunday of the end of a revered ballfield. There are not many people left who attended the stadium owned by the Brooklyn Dodgers — a local exception is the eminent biographer Robert Caro — and even fewer who know how it came ...
