In 1985, I bought my first car – a white Oldsmobile Omega. The car was a hand-me-down. It had been my dad’s and he was buying a new one. Literally, a new Omega. I had just moved home after law school and it seemed a good idea to have wheels. I remember the car made funny noises. This week, my son is buying his first car – a 2023 Honda Accord …
I have always been a fan of a good nap. In fact, I would be a proponent of communal napping spaces that could be rented or even borrowed for short times around the city. This season is my favorite napping time. A good back, a tall iced tea (or iced coffee), outside in the sun in a comfortable chair. I will be napping pretty quickly I admit. …
It’s a little creepy. My iPhone tells me, how far I walked, how long I slept, how many hours I spent on the iPhone, and then compares my usage to other weeks. Once that data is in that little device, I know that I am not the only one to know. I am convinced that Facebook hears me talking. Sometimes I think it hears me thinking. I may not even …
Pomp and Circumstance just never gets old. The excitement just continues to grow as you try to find your graduate in a sea of caps and gowns, and the music crescendos right along with. Truth be told, from Eric’s graduation last year I have a string of pictures of young men in caps and gowns who I thought were my son – but were not. Eventually, …
Do you have a dog? I don’t – but I am completely obsessed with my grand puppy, Hudson Schess. I learned last week that we share a last name, well at least for day care, and I am even his emergency contact. Bill and I were on our way back from a fun afternoon at the Tanger Outlets in Deer Park (well, fun for me – I’m not sure how much for Bill) w …
On a school bus in Michigan, a 13 year old student was engrossed in conversation with his friends when he noticed the bus driver was not feeling well. In a split second, this young student hopped into action and when the bus driver passed out at the wheel, reached in to put his foot on the brake and grabbed the steering wheel. A crisis averted …
Jury duty that is. Last week it was time to fulfill that dreaded jury duty requirement. I had taken advantage of putting it off once but my time was up. I had reluctantly cleared my calendar for the week and planned to be able to work remotely as much as possible. The system actually worked really well and with greater efficiency than frankly …
I know this is going to sound a little crazy – but I attended the nicest funeral yesterday. My cousin’s mom passed a few days ago at the age of 91. She lived a full life, filled with energy and absolute devotion to her husband and family. And then there were the stories, hilarious stories, right until the day she died. The funeral servi …
Many of us have been at this for a long time. Many of us are just getting started. Many of us who have been at this for a long time, are really just getting started or perhaps getting started with something new. I am talking about business development, of course. Across the span of our professions, we have all learned some tips, regardless o …
It has been very busy in my world and that is not a complaint. But, I did observe recently that I have not had a full on day off in a long time. Truth be told, I can’t really remember when that last day was. And so, here comes the daydreaming. These days, what would that day look like? It could be a day of watching movies in pajamas and sl …
