A cherished invite
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Saturdays – at least the mornings – are one of my hoops day; that's basketball for those who need more clarity. I enjoy it; it's intergenerational (even more so in the summer but that'll merit its own blog...maybe).   Some players have nicknames – Israeli Mike, Big Dave, Big Steve, Rug; some get called by last names – Stein, Blitz, Gluck, Cody; th

A Child In Every Work Place?
Posted By : Corey Bearak

So many topics to consider. One who probably knows best suggested I cover a fave topic – music – and the current president's taste.

That happened after the February 18 Gotham Green meeting. It just seemed ever

The Glove
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Marisa came home from L.A. to attend her cousin Tara's wedding. Tara was the flower girl when Shelly and I married. When Marisa took flight to CA, she left her softball equipment home. She pitched, caught, played every infield position.   Initially I played her where I lacked someone to do the job. When the girls began to pitch, we found my da
