This year, none of my kids was able to make it home for Mother’s Day. That’s ok. Don’t get me wrong – I missed them terribly and look forward to each and every time we can be together and hopefully soon. But when they are “grown and flown” that gets harder. My lesson learned “presence isn’t always the present”. All of my children (including m …
Are you a gossip? I will admit that, in the past, I have been a gossip. I cannot tell you how many times I heard friends or colleagues start a sentence with, “Don’t tell anyone I told you this but. . .” I will acknowledge that, in the past, that I would follow up with the expected answer, “Of course, I wouldn’t. What do you want to tell me?” …
As I share in every commentary on the second Sunday of May, I enjoy a special benefit of Sunday blogging: I get to wish all the mom’s a special Happy Mother’s Day. Today, I spend time with mom; my brother Richy visited her yesterday. Our son and his wife hosted his mom and I yesterday between a morning bar mitzvah and evening reception; Jonath …
Cracking open a fortune cookie is one of the unique pleasures in life. The last one I opened read, "If you don't enjoy what you have, how could you be happier with more?" That is so true. I was enjoying reflecting on this statement when I turned it over, and it said, "Please disregard all previous fortunes."
I am not sure about this, but I believe we are experiencing a late Spring. Officially, Spring sprung on March 20th, but having returned North last week, it seemed like we happily happened upon an atypical lush, colorful, vibrant and welcoming environment, which was more "just so" than past years. The feelings that Spring, in all its glory, engend …

As my wife enters her third trimester of pregnancy, we patiently await our first child to arrive in July. I keep hearing, "nothing will prepare you to be a parent and your life will change forever". Well, I am heeding that advice for the future but truly believe that change is happening now. The past 30 weeks has been a whirlwind of a ride as we ar …
Anyone else feel like this year is going particularly fast? I was talking with a friend recently about the proportionality challenge of time. You know what I’m talking about. At a young age, the passage of one year feels like forever. Yet later on, not so much. It’s the proportionality challenge rearing its head. As we gain experience (my e …
Google continues to amaze me. My husband and I were discussing clubs we used to go to in the 70’s/80’s. I was talking about one club I used to enjoy going to in Valley Stream. I could not, however, remember the name. My husband said to me, “Just google, clubs in Valley Stream in the 70’s.” I looked at him very skeptically and googled it just to …
Saturday in the Park. It’s one of my fave songs by Chicago, a band that in her teens Shelly described herself as a “groupie” and a fan of its original bassist, Peter Cetera. The title aptly describes our afternoon plans yesterday; we decided to head over to Flushing Meadows Corona Park so Shelly could ride her bike. We had tuned it up the previous …
