Today, I’ll be marching. Not against anyone, but for something I believe in deeply...our country and the Constitution that holds it together. I know we don’t all see things the same way. We come from different backgrounds, vote differently, and carry our own ideas about what America means. But I think most of us still believe (I hope) in the same …

Sometimes you need a headline to put you in focus.I am not tech savvy. Nor have I kept up with AI, but the headline in yesterday’s business section of the New York Times did it.“You Can No Longer Trust Your Eyes” and the article welcomed the reader to the world of AI video fakery.Yet another nail in the coffin of truth.
I’ve been fascinated by human physiology since I was a kid. Over the years, I’ve attended workshops, read books and articles, and spoken with medical experts. So, it’s no surprise that I ultimately found my way to owning a health and wellness business. The thing is that I’m still not a medical expert, and so when I was asked to give a presentatio …
My phone houses almost 13,000 moments of memories – also known as photos. Recently, I’ve noticed being drawn to the function that lets me sort those photos by year – and then comparing life from one year to the next. I have family photos when my kids were young – through baseball games, school shows, dance competitions, speech and debate tournam …
I wanted to follow up on Nancy’s blog about the Billy Joel documentary, “And So It Goes.” I have been a Billy Joel fan since high school, yes even before “The Stranger” came out. I owned “Cold Spring Harbor” and “Turnstiles.” Being such a longtime fan, I absolutely loved the documentary. Throughout the five hour documentary, however, I kept …
Rather than a big party in town, we made big plans to celebrate reaching my milestone: seeing the Eagles as The Sphere in Las Vegas. I really appreciate my beautiful bride, Rachelle, agreeing to embark on this kind of vacation. With the assistance of travel agent extraordinaire Laura Avital working with our daughter Marisa, we secured excellent …
In his book Think Again, organizational psychologist Adam Grant reminds us that distance can distort perception. “The greater the distance between us and an adversary,” he writes, “the more likely we are to oversimplify their actual motives and invent explanations that stray far from their reality.” This idea is an all too common human reaction. …
If you know me, you know I have a boyish fanatical obsession with New York Yankee team Captain Aaron Judge, a Paul Bunyon wonder on the Major League Baseball field. Yes, he holds many batting records, yes he won the American League Batting title this year and yes he will win the league's Most Valuable Player Award for the third time this year, but …
What’s in your wallet ? No, this is not a take-off the TV commercial and I’m not asking about credit cards.But a recent medical episode involving a friend of mine reminded me of the importance of having your emergency contacts in your wallet. And the information should be updated with names, priorities, cell phone numbers and emails.Some may opt fo …
The Ryder Cup at Bethpage. Years of preperation. Millions of dollars of construction. The hieght of anticipation finally arrived. Bethpage Black looked amazing. The best possible conditions. The course was made as easy as it could possibly be to allow the players to hit shots as long as possible without being punished by the thick rough that Black …
For the first time in more than five years, I have a list of movies coming out that I would like to see in an actual live movie theatre. Dinner and a movie was a regular Saturday night date in our world until a little thing called a pandemic stopped that tradition. Then we got lazy. It is so very easy to lie on our comfy couch eating Chinese …
