Today marks a year @Newsday ā€” that went fast. Itā€™s been eventful: from buried chemical drums to contentious town meetings. Looking forward to another busy one covering Oyster Bay and Glen Cove. Think I should cover something (or have some juicy info)? Give me a holler šŸ¤™

Want to do the husband thing and say Iā€™m immensely proud of my wife, @MGM_Studios_, for her work designing and assembling this case (and the @nyknicks bus rolling through the city today). She works so hard to preserve and present history at @TheGarden.

Every week, the Jets push the limits of how bad a team can be in the final minutes of a half. Itā€™s impressive, honestly.

Comparisons ā€” known in the real estate industry as ā€œcompsā€ ā€” are difficult when it comes to #OhekaCastle, the 117-room hotel/catering business/mansion going up for auction later this month. There simply arenā€™t any other ā€œcastlesā€ around here.

It's a Gold Coast mansion with spectacular views of Long Island Sound. Surrounded by an 18-hole golf course, it played the fictional Xanadu in "Citizen Kane," appeared in a Taylor Swift music video and hosted the wedding of a Jonas brother.

Some clarity on the Igor Shesterkin injury: it is a right knee injury that will require surgery and a lengthy rehab, according to a source. Thatā€™s why the #NYR arenā€™t expecting him back this season.
