Funny thing about websites...you can test all you want (which we did on about 25 devices) but when you launch, it can be a totally different outcome. I've been battling some crazy issues this week which I did not expect. I believe (hope) we have ironed out most of them. This new site was conceived over 2 years ago and I'm so happy it's finally li …
It's been awhile since I've slept with the windows open. I love sleeping in the cold, fresh air :)
I went away last week on vacation. No planes, just a stay in an Airbnb about an hour's drive away. Nice place, quiet and on the edge of a perserve so looking out of the back deck there were deer, rabbits and birds doing what they do. It was hard for me to be present and disengaged from work. I tried a bunch of things. This was unusual because fi …
I admit, I've been enthralled with SpaceX's Demo 1 mission - launching the Dragon space capsule, dock with the ISS and safely reutrn it to earth. It's a prelude to sending astronauts to the space station from American soil for the first time since 2011. If you didn't know, we been hitching rides for the past 8 years on Russian rockets for about $ …
Just yesterday I was having lunch with a friend of mine in a diner on Long Island. After we sat down, the owner came over and asked...did either of you drop $300 dollars? I didn't but my friend checked his pockets and he was missing that exact amount of money. We were both blown away that this guy found it and brought it over. Would you have …
In a recent visit to the doctor (scheduled) I had to fill out a form to update/validate my information for 2019. Part of the questionnaire was this. I was quickly filling this out and after I checked White I started to feel a bit uncomfortable. Why is Ethnicity only Hispanic or Non-hispanic? Why is Race only these four choices? The United States …
Luke Hagerty. A name you might hear a few times during the upcoming baseball season. What's so special is the fact he is 37 years old and throwing 99...he is the ultimate comeback story for baseball. The Cubs just signed him 17 years after they drafted him in the first round. A great story of perserverance, focus and luck. Here's the full back …
My wife and I went to the movies last Saturday night. We saw A Star is Born which we both liked. But that's not the real story....when we walked up to the ticket counter, I asked for two adults. And then we heard a shocking but true response from the young man behind the counter. "Senior Discount?" We both looked at each other in shock and la …

Switchboard Operator Video Store Clerk Encyclopedia Seller Typist Projectionist Soda Jerk Linotype Operator Human Computer Pinsetter Telegraph Operator Gas Lamplighter Iceman/woman Then I wondered what jobs people are working today that will be gone within the next 10 years.

Thought this may bring a smile to your face or at least a shake of the head Nike is releasing a wild iteration of the Air Max 1 Golf...yes, grass sneakers. Nike may need to refocus it's creative team, or give them a huge bonus...I'm not sure. Dubbed the Nike Air Max 1 Golf "Grass," this wild style features a deep green turf-like upper, with g …
Every year one of my friends reviews his relationships and categorizes them creating a top ten list. He has a bunch of criteria, some of which is strange but one particular point got me thinking. His top friends are those who can he be most authentic with. As he says, "...the people when I'm around I can be myself, say whatever pops into my head. …

A week ago I was surfing through the internet finding the list of things I needed to do to get my iPhone 7 working again. Apparently, without reason, my phone stopped connecting to the network. No calls in or out and texts only if I was connected to WiFi. It left me wondering how I ever survived without a mobile phone. After reaching out to Appl …
