While walking my routes for the USPS, I'm keeping my eye open for any historical buildings. The building in the foreground (300/333 East 33rd Street) and the background (333/343 East 30th Street) which are part of the Kips Bay Plaza complex were designed by famed architect I.M. Pei.
According to the website Kips Bay Towers at 300 East 33rd Street: Review and Ratings on cityrealty.com:
"Pei, then an architect with the Webb & Knapp development company headed by William Zeckendorf, collaborated with the architectural firm S. J. Kessler & Sons on the development.
The south tower was completed in 1960 and the north tower in 1966.
Their strict geometry is typical of much of his work: good, solid, clean-cut modernity with no frills. His firm's greatest fame lies in its later work such as the great East Wing of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the new glass pyramid entrance to the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Bank of China tower in Hong Kong.
These two long buildings are parallel to, but offset from, one another and are placed horizontally, east-to-west, on the large, landscaped site. An earlier plan for the site, developed by the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill had called for six buildings, but Pei wanted fewer to create more open space."
I didn't realize the history behind the complex until a tenant who has been living there since the building opened gave me a heads up.

Happy Thursday peeps!!! Here are the steps for this past week (September 26 - October 2) At 118,303, the total steps are a bit of an increase of the 116,785 from the week before. Rest days are key to rest and recovery. This week Wednesday and Sunday were rest days. I have seen some improvement in terms of my stamina. I dont find my legs and feet feeling as tired as I did when I started at the USPS. It feels good to be rebuilding myself in terms of health and fitness. On to the next week!!!!

What's up peeps. Happy Monday!!!
I realized that I hadn't posted my steps for the Here are the steps for the week of November 14 - November 20. So before I post the steps for Thankagiving weeks, here are the 11/14 -11/20 steps.
A significant less number of steps since my 162,559 steps from a week prior. But 135,842 steps isn't bad in the least. I had some less steps during Thanksgiving week. This was due to having two days off in the week and deciding to get some much needed rest.
Have a great week!!!

What's up peeps. Happy Thursday.
Here are the steps for this past week of (October 31 - November 6.) Another solid week though the steps for Tuesday through Thursday were somewhat lower than the other days. I was doing training on the USPS trucks, so most of the time was spent behind the wheel. Luckily I was able to hit my daily step goal.
Things are getting busier at the post office. So I would think the steps will increase as well. Here's to hoping. Have a great week!!!

Food for thought on this Friday morning. Which one are you? Are you the one who wants? The one who wishes? Or the one that does?

You can voice what you want to happen and accomplish all day long. But without putting in the work, all your affirmations will be are just words. Start early to end the work week on a positive note. Don't leave things unfinished for you to walk into on Monday. Finish strong to start strong. Happy Thursday!!!

I'm quickly approaching the "50-year horizon." Time to do some research to better care for myself as I approach the new age plateau.
