Two divergent shows by rock icons
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Two shows last week. Iconic artists. Both rescheduled from original dates. August 14, 2020 in the case of Rod Stewart. January 14 of this year in the case of Billy Joel. While we’ve seen both, it’d be the first time for each for Marisa who wanted to see each. While many around us at Jones Beach appeared to enjoy attending this performance by the fo

avoiding a scam

So I received an email out of the blue apparently from the Grand Chancellor (“head honcho”) of the Order Knights of Pythias in New York, an involvement covered by this correspondent last week. Since the “GC” does not do email, I figured to suggest he call me on my cell as I “occupied” my outside office but left the landline inside. In stead of a ca

Last culminated a number of important events in the Order Knights of Pythias where I hold a number of roles in NewYork. Last Wednesday, our Grand Chancellor, elected at our Grand Convention last month, delivered his message at a special event called the “Pythian Investiture” and I was “invested” as his “Executive Secretary” (see photo at left where

A Friendly Gathering Around A Rivalry

  We took over Citi Field last Tuesday.  At least one section of the Left-Field Landing.  Last week’s commentary concluded with a mention of Tuesday night when some 250 of my closest friends and their family, friends and colleagues would join me at Citi Field where Friday’s bloggers Yankees and my Mets previewed a later October (and maybe early No

If you read last week’s blog, you know I posted from Philly. We stayed in the historic part and just a few blocks from our hotel, we could walk to the Museum of the American Revolution. It included a special exhibit of paintings by Don Troiano recreating revolutionary era events; those painting supplemented actual artifacts, munitions, arms, gear,

It was a whirlwind of a week. Sunday afternoon I had an appointment at the Apple Store in Roosevelt Field to determine if my iPad which failed to charge Friday could be repaired; I replaced it with a newer model. Sunday eve we attended a Theresa Foundation Comedy Fundraiser and Shelly won a raffle. Monday, setting up a meeting and photo shoot the n

Keith’s day
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Depending on one’s age you may be more familiar with the baseball broadcaster/analyst than the total ballplayer many of us “experienced” after Keith Hernandez joined the New York Mets June 15, 1983. It was electric inside and outside Citi Field yesterday (July 9, 2022). The Mets emailed ticketholders to arrive early; my Mets Group Sales rep Aaron R

Adding some color

About a week after Father’s Day, tree dropping that require frequent if not daily sweeping, virtually stops; it “allows” me to drop a fresh layer of red mulch in our yard. It gives a nice look to the yard. This year Shelly added more plants; I like the look. It’s a nice to view it from the deck where most days my “summer office” is sited.

Lotta song

On Father's Day I shared the concerts for last week.  Two shows at City Winery sandwiched a show at Jones Beach.  All featured exemplary musicianship, energy and great songs, many iconic.  The City Winery shows were each a family affair as our daughter, Marisa, joined her parents.  Marisa and I took in the show at Jones Beach.  Three amazing sets:

In Tune for Father's Day
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Everyone knows I like to take in a good show. Last’s week commentary certainly made that point. So what better way for this commentator to celebrate this day with family than at a concert. So following an amazing concert – Sir Paul McCartney at MetLife Stadium Thursday night (Did you know the Boss joined in for two songs? – see the set list), my wi
