As I have said so many times, I am not a sports fan. I have, however, recently begun to appreciate how sports can bring people together. My husband Philip, as most of you do know, is an avid Jets fan. So is my brother. And so I was glad to answer the phone when my brother called on Saturday night to offer to watch the Jets-Patriots game …
An article in the New York Times on Sunday referenced the movie, “Peggy Sue Got Married.” I loved that movie and have not probably not seen it since it was released in 1986. In the film, Peggy Sue (played by Kathleen Turner) is magically sent back in time from her twenty-fifth high school reunion to high school. The twist in the film is that she …
I have a habit that drives my husband crazy; I am a snoozer. Every morning, I set my alarm clock for, at least, fifteen minutes before I have to get out of bed. Then, in the morning, I let the alarm clock go off and hit the snooze button, at least three times. Obviously, my snoozing habit wakes my husband up if he’s still sleeping. My husba …
When was the last time you completely stepped out of your comfort zone and did something crazy? That is not something I do very often. Generally, I am a cautious person and do not, comfortably step away from my comfort zone. Most people who know me know I have a fear of flying. In order to fly, I generally take valium so I can sleep through …
I thought I would follow Don’s lead and write about a topic which concerns my head. When I am asked whether I would cut my hair, my answer is usually the same, “Never. I am my hair.” And, while my response may sound comical, there is some seriousness in my answer. I cannot imagine ever cutting my hair short, changing the current color, or …
I know the whole Tom Brady/Deflategate controversy is fundamentally over, but I am still curious as to what people thought about it. Essentially, Tom Brady was reinstated only because the Judge found that the NFL did not follow the procedure required by the collective bargaining agreement. No decision was made by the Federal Court as to the facts …
As I’m writing this blog, I have chicken soup simmering on the stove. My kitchen is filled with the wonderful comforting smell of the soup. As I smell the soup, I can’t help but think about my parents and watching my mother cook in our kitchen for Rosh Hashanah. Certain smells, like chicken soup for me, can instantly evoke memories or br …
Don was feeling groovy yesterday. Today, I’m feeling relaxed. During the summer we all seem to slow the pace down a bit. Many of us take a day off during the week or leave the office earlier than usual. I try to take Thursdays off during the summer, as my husband is also off on Thursdays. I know that many other lawyers and business people ta …
Cayce’s blog about rejuvenation and Don’s blog about lunch on vacation inspired me to write this blog. Last week I was in court trying to schedule continuing trial dates with my adversary and the judge. The judge suggested some October dates during a week I will be away on vacation. When I mentioned my vacation, my adversary said to me with a gr …
It’s that time of the year; my daughter is heading back to school tomorrow and my step-son goes back next week. So, the conversation in my house has been focused around a very important topic, where will we be taking them out for dinner the night before they leave? This is a very serious discussion as apparently, in Buffalo and Binghamton respec …
It's Monday, Monday. Let me know what you think about. . .
