No Seder at home this Passover There may not have been a year since our marriage that when we remained in New York that Shelly and I did not host a Passover Seder. On quick recall I cannot recollect since our home was the only “space” large enough to accommodate her family. Yeah we enjoyed Seders away from home than when we visited Marisa when …
A nice start to a weekend built around family with Passover seders as main events. Prior to the gathering with daughter Marisa I attended Mets Opening Day, preceded by the Tom Seaver statute unveiling (probably merits its own blog), at Citi Field with daughter Marisa and some friends and clients; just delightful! Later we enjoyed a small seder – c …
A year ago I blogged about gathering virtually for Passover (and for others, on Easter). No one thought then we would still be dealing with COVID19, albeit with many of us “vaxxed” or on the way to be such. Nonetheless its a big deal that we were able to gather in our small but safe core. My daughter took care of making sure a new seder plate she p …
So my thoughts focus on when we can get together again. You might ask why but I suspect most know.

Usually we host one night and visit with family or friends (Appreciate the invites). Periodically, if find ourselves out of town, we participate in communal seders. This year, …
Vacations involve a bit of work no matter where we go. As I wrote about and retain an interest in siting sports stadiums (stadia?) I always try to include one on a visit. Since I enjoy clients involved in transit and transportation issues, I check out the issues wherever we visit. I also take advantage of opportunities to gain perspectives on cu …
I am not sure what you are doing this weekend but it is likely that you are with family or friends celebrating Easter, Passover, or April Fools day . What do you think about memory? It is a strange thing. Moments in our lives recorded on our nervous systems with electrical impulses. Some are etched so deeply we recall all the details what we were d …
We did not host this year. We always hosted; tradition of sorts, and not just for Passover. Noneless, we joined my good friend Joshua for the seder he hosted with his wife Linda; I found myself rather relaxed with no carving and other related duties; we enjoyed the company and the food. The next night we joined my mom in a restaurant for a 2nd nig …
