Second Dose Thoughts
Posted By : Benjamin GeizhalsToday - weather and other contingencies permitting - Flo and I will be getting our second dose of the Covid vaccine. It is slowly becoming clear to me that this will likely not be the last time we take a Covid vaccine. Just as the Covid vaccine may become a reality for years to come, I contemplate the other things that have become part of our new n …
What Is Top of Mind & Body?
Posted By : Carly BentleyRecently, I’ve been studying the power of raw foods and their affects on the human body. The Cure for Arthritis, by S.H. Shepherd has me sharpening my understanding of how the human body works in relationship to food, water and a healthy sun shower. Truthfully, it all started because I wanted the pain in my hip to go away, so I could gain 30 extr …
My Annual Super Bowl Tradition
Posted By : Nancy SchessIf you know me at all, you know that I am not a football fan. Sure, I enjoy the experience – mostly the food and the company. I also enjoy the commercials. This year felt as if fewer commercials grabbed me -- but there were a few. Some of my favorites: Indeed.com: Particularly given the current high rates of unemployment and so many people …
The Most Important Seat In The House
Posted By : Rona GuraIt happened again last night. I do not believe I will have to recount the details of what occurred after you read my questions. So here goes: Toilet seat, up or down? Why? And what about the cover?
Making it a super day
Posted By : Corey BearakOn the eve on Superbowl LV, I think how different watching the game will be. It’ll likely be more of solo affair unless Shelly and I dine watching the beginning of the game (well we already ordered our meals yesterday so C’est possible at this writing). As shared on the eve of prior games, we join up with friends, sometimes in a diner in Brooklyn; …
Greatness
Posted By : Mitch TobolIs someone truly great if their path includes cheating or aligning themselves with people who do? This question came up for me this morning when I was thinking about the Super Bowl and Tom Brady. He is often referred to as a G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time). His football acheivements are truly remarkable...6 Super Bowl rings and 10 appearances. No …
What's going on?
Posted By : Fred KleinI start this blog without any idea as to where it’s going or how it’s going to end... All I know is that I need to know what’s going on? Thank you Marvin Gaye for your inspiration and timeless plaint! Maybe that’s all there is and it’s for you to answer! What’s going on for you?
Books
Posted By : Benjamin GeizhalsOne day last week I glanced over and the pile of books beside my night table called out to me. I realized that I hadn’t read a book in quite a while.I considered the reasons for this phenomenon: my addiction to my iPad as a constant source of news, the fact that my laptop is always open and readily available since the onset of working remotely, the …
A Vision Board for 2021
Posted By : Carly BentleyPerhaps you've met Nelson Mishkin? Nelson and I met in 2004. He is one of those special people that was brought into my life at the right time, for something greater than I anticipated and has been in my life ever since. Nelson is a past Gotham Member, a true member of the tribe. He lives the motto of giving over receiving, and knows that what he g …
A New Form of Entertainment
Posted By : Nancy SchessWell, at least for me. I started listening to podcasts a little while ago. I found that it was a great way to enhance (and extend) my walks. And of course, they were a fun way to break in my new Air Pods. I also find podcasts an interesting way to keep up on current events and meet some interesting people. Of course, I won’t share the podcasts …
A Virtual Snow Day
Posted By : Rona GuraAs I write this blog, it is Sunday and I am listening to the weather reports predicting a major snow storm. I sit here and wonder, now that most of our work is done virtually, what will a snow day look like in a virtual world? Will students whom are learning online be given a snow day? How will school districts coordinate the effect of a snow da …
The Battle Must Go On
Posted By : Corey BearakThis involves nothing political or otherwise. Perhaps early but still excited because I know this show will go on. I miss live concerts. Followers of this weekly commentary know well this commentator’s enjoyment of live shows. So last Wednesday, I looked forward to a planning meeting for the return of the Gotham Battle of the Bands® this year. C …
Ben's a lucky man
Posted By : Mitch TobolLast Thursday evening Gotham hosted a Zoom meeting with Ben's 91 years young Mom, Esther. I have heard her speak before and was looking foward to listening to her again. A little background...Esther lived through the Holocaust because Mengele told her to go to the right and not to the left where her Mother and Brother were told to go. Had it not …
Vaccine Mania
Posted By : Fred KleinJoanne and I are above the 65 year old threshold to qualify for an appointment to get The Shot. We are on an appointment list and I’ve been on a vaccination appointment website twice too early in the morning to get on another list and I just called a special number to get on still another list. I even complained to the Mayor! So, despite our bet …
