Eating Eco
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

No not some person or animal named eco but adopting an eco-friendly diet.   This occurred to me this morning when I tied up the garbage bag in the kitchen. We throw out so much even though I'm an ardent recycler. I found this...something to think about when you go shopping.   Start by choosing locally sourced produce, which reduces transportation

A Snowbird's Farewell
Posted By : Fred Klein

Yes, we are "Snowbirds" (northerners who move to a warmer southern state to escape Winter) and we have been escaping in Paradise (Key West) for four warm, fun filled, months and, truth be told, as I write this, I am sad to leave.   But leave we must as Family and an alternative, full, abundant life awaits us in Springtime New York.  What will I mis

Wikipedia defines a honeymoon as  “a holiday taken by newlyweds after their wedding to celebrate their marriage.”   My husband and I took two honeymoons. It’s a second marriage for both of us wherein we were blending a family of two children each. So, immediately, after we got

So tomorrow is April 29; 4/29 if use we use just numbers. When I went to post today’s blog, I was greeted by a message (see upper left) that I have 428 posts (Today is 4/28.). That means the blog that post today is #429. A coincidence. Any significance. Something to ponder. I posed that question to Google. I learned that there is something called

We are at the cusp, an inflection point and Mustafa Suleyman, the AI CEO at Microsoft, has a new vision for the future of AI that is worth listening to. I would suggest watching this YouTube video to hear his point of view and the impact this technology will have.   https://www.ted.com/talks/mustafa_suleyman_what_is_an_ai_anyway?
