20 Minute Friends
Posted By : Fred Klein

Every morning I swim at the local pool at 6:00 am and one must arrive early to get a good lane.  Thus, we begin lining up, huddled in the cold, at about 5:40 and there is a regular crew of swimmers (special are the ladies who regularly swim in lanes 2, 3 and 6) and gym rats (pictured).  I feel that the 20 minutes we spend together in the cold has f

One of the best things about Gotham is the willingness of each member to be of help.  Of course, this willingness is the personification of our Mantra: It's better to give than receive, but what goes around comes around.Today, I feature our own Corey Bearak because I need to publicly thank him for all that he has done for me, Gotham and other membe

Two good Yankee fans who are also friends are Paul Napolitano and Jason Greenberg.  In fact, we share a text chain where we gossip about sports and other important issues of the day.   Last summer we fell to discussing Joey Gallo, a unique former, non favorite, Yankee ball player.  Joey is unique in an obscure negative way as, mostly, he either str

Every summer we spend special time in Cape May with our dear friends Natalie and Richard and we are still in their thrall following our return home yesterday.   We have known them since we were young and share over 50 years of intimate history.  Yes, Natalie is like the perfect sibling.

New Tricks!
Posted By : Fred Klein

We have a 10 year old female Schnoodle (mixed breed Schnauzer/Poodle) appropriately named Charcoal by my wife Joanne.   She is, by far, the best dog we have ever lived with. She is so smart that she communicates with her eyes, snorts, barks and tail. So smart that she can tell (dinner) time.     She is loving, loyal, brave, vigilant, sweet, curious
