We just finished The Bear. It was slow starting, but Season 2 was spectacular. Such great acting and character development. Soon Bridgerton will be back I’m told but The Gilded Age is a long time away. We spent weeks and weeks getting through The Americans, sitting on the edge of our seats. And, we are still waiting for a release date of Shri …
Tonight marks the beginning of Passover. As we host both Sedars, my husband and I spent all day Sunday preparing. The first step in preparation was to take out, from our storage closet, our Sedar plates, matzoh plates, and matzoh covers. As I was handling each item I was struck by the length of time we had been using them and what they each mean …
Some readers of this commentary surely know the significance of tomorrow. Tomorrow we observe Earth Day. On “X” – formerly twitter (Oh how I wish Mr. Musk would restore that name and much more to that “platform”) – I saw hashtags #EarthDay, #EarthDay2024 and #EarthDay24; take your pick; I expect to use at least two of the three. The environment mat …
Waking up on a sunny Saturday morning, brewing some delicious coffee and venturing out my back door to feel the sunshine and listen to the sounds of suburbia waking up. I found a video so you can share in my experience. (BTW, there were three of them in my neighbors yard)
This past week has been epic for my grandson Shawn Atom. One could describe it as a "Hat Trick" as he culminated his 7 year quest to become an Eagle Scout (achieved by only 4% of all Boy Scouts), decided to attend the venerable engineering program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and and is attempting to find a vocalist so his band can enter Got …

Met both but the Beantown fan was a little more interesting.One thing led to another and Dave told me the story of h …
Every family has one member that is known for something in particular. I AM THE TRAVEL NIGHTMARE!!!! From late to canceled flights, lost luggage, COVID while traveling, having to sleep overnight in an airport, trajectory of door plugs canceling a full fleet of airplanes...you name it, it has all happened around me! One of the craziest stories to …
Now, this is a blast from the past. How many of you out there grew up with plastic slipcovers on the living room couch? If you are there with me, remember the whooshing noise they made when you sat down? How about, what it felt like to stand up from the hot cushions in the heat of the summer? Or, how the sharp edges on the corners felt just …
I was reminded recently of the personal experiences we sometimes bring to our professional experience. As many of you know, I became a divorce lawyer after going through my own personal divorce. In making the change, I felt that my personal experiences going through my own divorce would enhance my work as a divorce attorney. I believed that my pe …
Friday, I attend the Queens Borough President's Annual State of the Borough ("SOTB") speech. The last several years I've attended the SOTB with my daughter Marisa who works at the American Jewish Committee. This year I met in the parking lot the venue, Queens Theatre in the Park, shares with the Queens Museum in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. She …
