I knew if I wrote a blog about HRC, that it would be potentally polarizing. She brings up a lot of strong feelings in people. My reason for writing the blog becomes, then, more appropriate. I want to write about not caring what people think of me. Coco Chanel has a great quote which I used to adore: “I don't care what you think about me. I don't t …
I just finished watching a documentary on PBS about the trees at the 9/11 Memorial and, once again, I am moved - inspired - invigorated with hope with all the good work that goes on that we know nothing about. It goes hand in hand with Hidden Figures (a narrative film) and Come From Away (Broadway Show), both of which should be mandatory viewing fo …
On this day in 1991, the World Wide Web was opened to the public. 1991. 26 years. No iPhones, Netflix, Amazon. No email, Macbooks, DVDs (which are now basically obsolete). No GOOGLE. No FACEBOOK.

This edition is outstanding as the only Declaration titled The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America, having been pri …
"Your Turn," that is the name of the 10 min film you are encouraged to watch if you are chosen to be in the Jury select pool in New York State. It promotes the idea that you are doing a great service and the trials will be "fascinating." I'll leave it up to our litigating Gothamites to answer that one. For $40 a day, if you are not being paid be an …
This is all I have today: Maybe you will find it helpful. It always soothes me. I hope it soothes you. “In America, anybody can be president.That's one of the risks you take.” ― Adlai E. Stevenson II

I was reminded this week of all I have to be grateful for, don't worry I'm not going to list it all here. I saw a video of the Sanders family. Christina and Christopher met as teenagers, fell in love, got married and had five kids. Could be a perfect end of story, except Christina wanted to adopt another child. So they go through all the rigamaroll …
