How good are you at saying good-bye? This week my stepson moved out of our house and into an apartment in Manhattan. He’s starting work in two weeks in a large law firm in the city so he wanted to move in before work began. This is all good. We are incredibly proud of his hard work in law school that culminated in him being hired as a firs …
I often find it interesting as to where the comments on my blog will take the discussion. Recently, the comments to a blog I wrote about fast food centered on the merits of coffee in the morning. While the topics may be somewhat related, it is not the direction I expected the discussion to go. Nancy recently wrote a blog attesting to her a …
Anyone who knows me knows that, my fear of flying notwithstanding, I love to travel. I love to experience everything different countries have to offer, the sights, sounds, and tastes. I believe that a crucial part of the experience is tasting the local cuisine. As those of you who are friends with me on Facebook know, I spent last week i …
Most of you are my friends on Facebook. If you’re not, I invite you to friend me. Facebook is my social media of choice. I feel comfortable using it. I check it a few times a day and post often. I have accounts on Instagram and Snap Chat. I generally use those accounts to monitor my kids, follow certain lifestyle or cooking accounts, or som …
As I am writing this blog, I am sitting at my desk eating an apple. I’m not usually one for midafternoon snacks. I was at the Farmer’s Market, at the courthouse on Tuesday and the apples looked so good. So I bought a few for home and left a few in the office refrigerator. It's very surprising to me, how much I am enjoying these few moment …
Welcome to September Gotham. As many of you know, I’m a lifelong Weight Watcher. I attend meetings and I follow them on social media. This morning I read something interesting on their Instagram account, a challenge to avoid eating fast food throughout the month of September. When I first read the challenge, I thought it would be easy for m …
For many years I have donated money to The Council of Jewish Women’s Back to Store. Succinctly stated, The Back to School Store is an annual two day event where children of families in financial need are given the opportunity to “shop” for everything they need to go back to school; socks, underwear, a pair of pants, a shirt, sneakers, a winter co …
Jane Jacobs posted a link to a New York Times piece this weekend entitled, “Finding Myself in My Mother’s Calendars.” Reading it made me think about my mother’s address book. After my parents passed and we were cleaning out their belongings, I took several small items one of which was my mom’s address book and one of the others was my father’s wa …
There are so many television shows that have been rebooted in the past few years. There was “Murphy Brown,” Will and Grace,” “Full House,” “Twin Peaks” and “Roseanne.” Now, even “Beverly Hills 90210,” has been rebooted. I was a fan of most of the shows while they were in their peak. And I have enjoyed some of the reboots such as “Will and …
I am not a singer. In fact, I am a bit envious of those people who can sing. The only time you might “catch” me singing would be alone in my car, with the windows closed, when certain songs are played on the radio. It happened to me on Friday afternoon as I drove home from work. It had been a good week at work and I was in a particularly go …
It's Monday, Monday. Let me know what you think about. . .
