A friend gave me his Common Cold :( How do I know it's a Common Cold? Because my doctor administered a nasal swab which eliminated other possible causes. Not to complain, but it has evolved into a hacking (barking) cough which was debilitating me until I started taking Musinex, which has alleviated the cough somewhat. The much overused "It is what it is" covers it, but why? Why can't they cure the Common Cold?
On Mother’s Day, we visited the Gowanus Canal.After dinner nearby, we took a walk to the canal, which was declared a Superfund Site in 2009 due to its pollution, toxicity and unique smell.Clean-up began in 2013. Environmentalists took interest and persisted. Development followed with new residential buildings and walkways along the canal. It’s now called a “waterfront”.As I gazed upon the water, it occurred to me that, although I wouldn’t swim in it now, someday it might be possible.Just then two ducks came swimming up the canal — as if to say “the water’s fine !!”
The Knicks are making a charge. They are the real New York City team more than any other. The city becomes alive when they make a deep run in the playoffs. More than the Rangers, Yankees are little different being in the Bronx. Growing up in the Ewing/Starks era I have great memories, the world is a little different now but the city still gets electrified by the Knicks. Go New York, Go New York GO!
It is almost that time of year when the weather changes, everything outside calls – and vacation plans bubble.We may have some weekends this summer to explore and I’m curious for your recommendations. What would you recommend for a weekend getaway, maybe 3 hours or so from New York?
During this past week, a party who is now representing themselves in one of my cases, emailed the court appointed accountant asking for an update. The accountant’s response came quickly, “As soon as my outstanding bill is paid, I will be happy to give you an update.”
Today is a very special day. More on that later. I focus first on the special message that I deliver each second Sunday each May: On this Mother’s Day 2026, to every mom, please enjoy your special Happy Mother’s Day. I enjoy this opportunity as a special benefit of Sunday blogging. Today, I spend time with my mom. Our daughter takes her mom to a mother-daughter Mother’s Day brunch.
We’ve all been there. Someone says, “Can I get your honest opinion?” What they usually mean is, “Can you please confirm that the decision I already made is brilliant, courageous, and possibly visionary?” Honest feedback sounds great in theory, right up until it arrives.
We returned home last week and since then we have been busy (operative word) reacclimating to our Home environment. The list includes cleaning, unpacking, going through mail, paying bills, making appointments, doctor visits, activating newspaper deliveries, food shopping and, most important, catching up with Family (can't wait for Mother's Day)!It's tough work, but well worth it :)
