As a fifteen year old boy, my son could spend literally all day in front of that game console. It calls his name. Truth be told, there has been more than one conflict in our house in an effort to limit the amount of time he spends engaged with that machine. A few days ago, Eric turned the machine off, packed up the games (no easy feat), and mo …
So, what do you think? Did Tom Brady deserve to be suspended? If so, how do you feel about 4 games? Did the Patriots deserve the $1 million fine? And how does Tom Brady’s four game “deflategate” suspension compare to the NFL’s initial two game suspension of Ray Rice for beating his soon to be wife? I have a lot of questions today.
Well, not really dangerous in the technical sense of the word. When I am at the gym, I am partial to a particular bicycle. Not because of its speed or comfort but because it is situated closest to the television where Planet Fitness plays its infomercial channel. I admit to being an infomercial addict. When I was younger, I bought all of my …
Last week I was cranky (see last week's blog post). I am still cranky. Last last week, my son shared his flulike cold with me. Some things are not meant to be shared. I went back to work yesterday with some coughing and sneezing still going on. Shortly after getting seated on the LIRR, I had a profound realization. I was that person other commute …

That’s me! I had a bad week last week. Did you ever have one of those weeks where every time you turned around there was another crisis to avert? That was my week. Happily, this week has started out better but I am still suffering from lingering cranky. Any suggestions for how to relieve the stress? How do you get yourself out of a cranky …
I met a lovely young law student today who told me that she knew she wanted to be a lawyer from the time she was in third grade. She is clearly a very focused person with her eye on her desired end game. I don’t remember being that directed until sometime in college. If you asked me before my decision to go to law school, I would have said …
Last Thursday morning I was finishing our normal morning routine making our bed. As I finished straightening the blanket and organizing the pillows I heard the clang of metal on metal. It was odd and every time I moved a pillow, there it was again. You may remember that last Thursday morning we had some snow – actually a lot of snow. More than …
New York City changed its rules yesterday. Cell phones are now allowed in schools. I say, it’s about time. Just like anything else we teach our children, appropriate time and place for the use of their phones is right there on the list. [In my house, I have to admit I have less credibility than I would like on this subject but let’s ignore that …
Do you have it? Have you ever found yourself holding your breath while answering email? Apparently, not knowing the content of the emails or texts you are about to read creates anticipation. Coupled with an ever increasing volume of those emails and texts, that anticipation can lead to spontaneous shallow breathing and even breathholding. Kind …
