My husband and I did something last week that we love doing. And we haven’t been able to do since the beginning of the pandemic. We went dancing! (what did you think I was talking about??) It was my sister-in-law’s 55th birthday. So, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law invited 25 of their relatives and close friends to their beachfront home. Th …
This is the blog Friday’s blogger pressed me to draft and post last week. I argued let the net “facts” occur first. In fact, I get to tout not only my newly promoted daughter but my son who shared word of a recent study getting issued last week in print. Last Monday, our daughter, Marisa, started her new gig at the New York Region of American Jew …
Here's a new twist for employment and a really cool job title...Spaceport Mixologist. Interested? You will most likely be working at a small house next to the incredible spaceport in Boca Chica, TX. Elon Musk calls it the Starbase Tiki Bar and it sounds like you would be serving drinks like the Test Pilot or Jet Pilot. “Experience pairing drink …
As I get older I feel less need to take or get credit for an idea I conceive or good deed I do.
Last week, Fred blogged about the talent in their minor league system that has bolstered the Yankees, and Fred, as the regulars are sidelined by positive tests for Covid.Minor league teams are essential to major league teams. The farm system, as it is called, is where talent is “farmed” and sowed for the support and succession of the big league tea …
The world of movies has been turned upside down by the advent of Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney Plus etc. etc. People were able to see new and important movies on their new big flat screens. And, then the Covid pandemic took the theater film business to its knees. I am a dedicated big screen fan. Seeing a movie big makes you feel that you a …
We are all busy professionals. As a direct result, I have found that as my career progressed, I have become obsessed with lists. In the early days as a young lawyer, I literally kept a separate “To Do” pad. I would start the week on the top page and then color code and move tasks that needed to be completed onto later pages as the week progressed …
My blog today is a simple one, are you or are you not a sushi person? It has been my experience that most people either love it or hate it. I am a sushi person. When I was twelve, my Dad spent a month in Japan. When he came home he excitedly told us that he had to introduce us to sushi. It sounded so weird and exotic then. There were only two re …
It was suggested midweek that this blog cover something that becomes official tomorrow but it makes sense to share that in a subsequent commentary. I prefer to share something that never occurred with me and a baseball game. Last Tuesday, we stayed for the entire game despite the home team – my beloved team – not likely at all to rally to victory. …
I'm confused. Do I wear a mask or not? Friday night I attended what was, I believe, the first Gotham meeting in a very long time. I walked in with a mask on but out of the 35 or so people attending, i was one of three who wore one. It was outdoors, but personally, I was a bit nervous. I am vaccinated but still carry some fear with me whereever …
When I first learned that my fanfav Aaron Judge and 9 other Yankee teammates would be sidelined for 10 days for testing positive for Covid I was crestfallen. Seriously dim viewed! But, as usual, my time tested adage “Up is down and down is up” proved true as the Yankees dipped into their minor league system for replacements and some, if not all, s …
My four year old grandson and I were sitting in the backyard last Saturday watching the birds and thoroughly enjoying the beautiful weather. Birds were chirping and we heard a distinctively loud cackle followed by an answering cackle.We smiled as we realized that the birds were talking to each other.“What do you think they are saying to each other? …
I was excited to get an invitation from the Gotham Tribal Council to take on the Wednesday Blog Spot in the Gotham weekly lineup. Filling the site that was so passionately helmed by the inspiring Carly Meyer will be a challenge that I look forward to embrace. As some of you may know, I have an avid interest in Movies, Music, Museums, Theater, …
Admittedly, I don’t have the greatest sense of direction – but DC has me completely turned around. We spent last weekend moving my daughter to DC (she starts her PhD at Georgetown in a couple of weeks – go Jaclyn! – but that is not the point of my story). Even Bill had trouble figuring out the city – and he is that guy who goes somewhere once, …
Do you post reviews on the internet or social media? Several years ago I wrote a series of blogs about how it felt to be the victim of a vicious, and fraudulent, internet attack. Since that time, I have learned how to properly protect my online reputation and how important it is to do so. I decided, however, that I wanted to take something els …
