Recently, I’ve played a lot of golf. “Gettin’ down to divot town”, “ following the path of righteousness in my swing.” Literally learning the swing, then closing my eyes and following thru. YES! I hit the ball with my eyes closed. Twice. For me? About 100 swings for 18 holes. Maybe 90-95. That’s a lot of swings. Hence, proper stretching is require

Sleep Tricks
Posted By : Nancy Schess

  I have to admit that I sometimes struggle with sleep. I never had a problem when I was young but with age comes wisdom – and apparently insomnia. Sometimes I read a little, but I often drift towards catching up on the news which, particularly over the last year, hasn’t exactly been like a warm glass of milk. (And I hate warm milk). A little m

Silver Foxes?
Posted By : Rona Gura

  This weekend was the weekend. I got my hair colored. The moment I see those pesky gray hairs peaking through, I start figuring out the best time to get my color done. Every so often I think about embracing my gray. Women such as Helen Mirren, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Meryl Streep have done so and look phenomenal. I wonder why can’t I? I also wond

So begins the task
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Last year at this time, the outdoor office was nearly complete. Going into this weekend I was not sure time would allow me to power wash the deck; that task remains the prerequisite to deploying the deck furniture stored in the shed, including the umbrellas. I am glad to report I completed the section where I setup. So sometime after this blog g

Extra parts
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Once in a while I notice a screw or small bolt somewhere on the floor in my house. I pick it up, stare at it and look around to see where it came from. I check all the surrounding furniture and appliances but nothing is misssing. So, I place it in a small draw on a table in my bedroom thinking I'll eventually find what this screw is holding togethe

Because of Covid, we had not been there in several months.There have been changes on Railroad Street in Great Barrington, a commercial street off of Main Street.

Can Do...
Posted By : Carly Bentley

I had a different blog set for this morning, but something Fred said in our Philadelphia Gotham meeting last night prompted me to save the planned blog for another day, and write about the author. Fred is an amazing person. We all know this, and we surely have told him the same. Fred chooses the best in all of us and draws it to the surface. Like

Day #1 -- Again
Posted By : Nancy Schess

  I have to admit I’m a little anxious. As I write this blog, I am readying to go back to my office tomorrow. It’s time. And truth is, I’m a little excited. I was back over the summer for a while, a few days a week. I distinctly remember that feeling of stepping foot into my office for the first time. It was truly emotional. Sitting at my desk b

Perennial Maskers
Posted By : Rona Gura

  I recently read an interesting article in New York Magazine. The subject of the article was the perennial maskers. The people interviewed for the story claimed that, even after mask mandates are lifted in New York and by the federal government, they would continue to wear their masks. Most of them agreed that they felt safe wearing masks and cou

A day for the special moms
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Last year on this day, the #1 mom in my life — obviously the one I live with — got a surprise involving her son visiting our place with his then girlfriend now fiancé.  This year no surprise but a visit nonetheless.  After a campaign HQ opening — outdoors &  masked for my newest client, I returned to pick up Shelly and begin a drive to Amherst,

First one...again
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

So today (Friday) at 3P I had an experience I haven't had in quite awhile...a business appointment that was not on Zoom. Masks on, elbow bumps for hello and a 10 minute conversation on shots, antibodies and viruses in general.   I was excited to be in front of an actual person. It was different, familiar and very comforting in a strange sort of wa

If you have been vaccinated, I believe you are on the right track. What’s more, once vaccinated you receive a proof of vaccination card and it’s a keeper, as you may need it for various purposes. As such, you need to maintain it in decipherable condition and what better way than lamination. I pondered where can I get my vaccination card laminat

The Question
Posted By : Benjamin Geizhals

“Are you vaccinated?” Is that the question that you can, or can’t, ask?Lawyers are struggling with the question in several contexts and it has become a political football. But I’m talking about you and me.It seems to me that unless someone is vaccinated, I need to be as protective of myself and cautious with respect to that person as I was in the d

Do. Or, Do Not.

May the Forth be with you! I know it’s Cinco de Mayo, but, I love Star Wars. To all those Star Wars fans out there, I was reminded of wisdom Yoda shared with young Luke, while stretching his abilities in the swamp. When we clear our minds and decide to DO something, we commit to seeing it thru. I love Yoda and am reminded to remain present. For w
