For me, a lovely day is any day I wake up.

Prescriptions for Living

Roadside memorials dot Long Island's state highways, county parkways and roads, sending a message of "we miss you and will never forget." Names appear, such as Umair Ejaz, who died near Exit 15 on the Southern State Parkway on Aug. 13, 2006. Some memorials have been around for years, such as a small cross for Aram Kasparian, killed in 1995 where the Wantagh Parkway connects to the westbound Northern State. Others are new, such as the memorial for Amanda Malloy, a fourth-grade teacher killed earlier this month while jogging in Huntington.
