This morning into afternoon members of the Bearak, Stone and Stark clans gather to celebrate a special milestone: Mom’s 80th. If not for my involvement a primary election involving my good friend and client, the party (and this blog) would have occurred the weekend before. Anyway, mom got a nice present when she got to visit and view the new apar …
My household changes in the summer. When one works in a school for the NYC Department of Education aka NYC Public Schools, one generally enjoys most of the season without any work responsibilities; so it goes for “Mrs. B.” Of course some exceptions exist to that rule but not here in Grand Junction, the name my daughter gave our home in a s …
Folks know my enjoyment of basketball. I still play two times weekly, most often one eve and one weekend morning. I talk basketball with my friends, mostly the pro game. We discuss who the Knicks should keep or trade and what they need. Strong feelings exist around certain players. Before the draft one friend suggested trading KP for a …
Saturday was one of the special days. It repeats each year. It includes many folks and circles surrounding two friends who go back together to Kindergarten in the same nabe. I only got to know them in high school. But for them it includes boys and girls who grew up together, attened the same elementary, junior high and high school, and for many of …
We visited with my talented sister-in law yesterday at The FAD Market at The Invisible Dog Factory at 51 Bergen Street a few blocks south of Atlantic Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn. If you approach summer as Fred and Joanne Klein do, it makes sense to visit this location -- open from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., in particular to see "Images by Adrianne. …
Read the other day how better health care and other environmental factors may allow some of us or others our near future to reach age 150 (and our Friday blogger only seeks 1/3 of that number). I found myself musing what activities might one pursue approaching well short of those numbers. We socialize with people in our age range, some a bit …
RIP Adam West. I really enjoyed that series in my youth. I enjoyed the comics. In all his appearances always a nice person. RIP Batman. I took to social media, Twitter to be exact, when I wanted to learn about his passing. I learned he enjoyed 150,000 followers and only followed 115. His page said he joined Twitter in March 2009 – one month …
Gotham City Networking, Inc.® certainly connects its members (and others) for business and other reasons. The social parts remains secondary but that often forges the bases for the important business relations. We also might “join forces” on civic and non profit boards. In other cases we might get involved in some of the causes advanced by ot …
I enjoy teamwork. From playing basketball many a time, I see one or more players complaining about the sides we make. We really endeavor to balance things. I look beyond the sum of individual talents and the try to weigh the chemistry of the team; how they work together, find open players, make the right pass, set that monster pick, roll to t …
32. Someone asked yesterday what I planned to blog on today. That person encouraged a blog about politics. I considered it and I might shared something on that when it muses me. Today, I want to discuss a number. A good solid number. It means something special here – this year. It relates not to sports though perhaps the greatest at …
I blog about what muses me.
