The puppy’s name is: Redford, the Lil Red Dog, also known as “Red”. Fondly remembering, Clifford, the Big red dog Naming rights belong to my dear friend, Josh Zinder. Josh reminded me of my chain gang of animals. SLIM the rescue, my son’s cat SKIM and now “RED” the lil red dog. What sealed the deal? Funniest thing happened, when I took “red” to the vet Monday, I heard the vet tech say...”put the REDHEADS in room 2”. I realized they were talking about ME and my PUPPY! #redheads Thank you for all the suggestions and thank you Josh!!

  Last weekend we ventured for the first time this season to our local town beach. We are Town of Oyster Bay residents on Long Island and so ToBay is our beach choice when we feel the need to touch the ocean. And, we’re Long Islanders so that’s half the lure to being here.

Anyone who knows me, or have read my blogs, knows I enjoy shopping for clothing, pocketbooks, handbags etc. I know that sometimes, professionally, I will use my clothes to make a statement. For instance, during a recent four-day long hearing, I purposely wore very professionally looking, dark suits. To me, my choice of dress made a statement to the Judge and opposing counsel that I was in that courtroom as a professional ready to work and do battle.  

I found myself perusing my calendar. Many a friend shared how they feel Summer’s Almost Gone.  

I live in Sea Cliff...a tiny hamlet that's 1 square mile containing 5,000 residents. To the north is Glen Cove and Locust Valley. To the east Brookville. We all have three routes to get off this peninsula with Glen Cove Road being the main artery, At present, traversing Northern Blvd is like crossing a chasm.  

I live on the North Shore of Long Island and when I sit in my back yard I notice the never ending, clockwork pattern of big jets passing high above, somewhat to the South in an East/West pattern.

We’ve eaten at several “No Tipping” establishments over the past few months, most recently at two bars with lite food fare in the City.

Life is fast paced and demands a lot from us both personally and professionally. Between tweets, and posts, emails, meetings, calls and events, I decided to slow things down and enjoy some summer vibes.
