Tonight is the first Passover Seder. My husband and I, every year, host both seders for our families. This year we are  hosting fifteen people the first night and twenty-seven the second night. Given our experience with cooking for Passover, we definitely have our routines down. Essentially, our routine is to save all of our cooking  for the weekend before and get it all done in one marathon weekend. It has always worked for us. And we each have our specialties that we prepare.

After basketball, I checked my mail quickly in my car. One email – from Rolling Stone (magazine) – shared links to a number of articles about the Rock and Roll Hall Fame Induction ceremony that took place at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn Friday eve.  

After reading and commenting on Fred's blog, a thought occurred to me. Did you know that the average human's attention span has decreased over the past few years?   According to a study by Microsoft Corporation, human attention span has supposedly dropped from 12 seconds in 2002 to only eight seconds in 2013.  

I am compelled to admit that I have become an addict.  I am addicted to Social Media.  Although mostly a Luddite, I am constantly watching and working my amazingly fecund iPhone.     It started years ago with email and a crude self constructed fredslist which became a more sophisticated and responsive list serve.  Texting is my least favorite form of communication, but it is a highly effective direct private line to my grand kids. 

I wasn't sure what to expect as we entered the restaurant last Saturday for the 50th anniversary dinner reunion of my high school class. Brooklyn Tech was a ‘commuter’ school with students coming from all over the City. So, interaction was limited to school and after-school activities. You didn't have a lot of friends among your classmates. But there were four of us - Queens boys - who hung out together -- Mark, Frank, Bill and me. I knew that we'd all be at the dinner.

Never forget that there is good happening all the time, all around you, that you may not see. Jose´ M. Hernández journey to space lasted over two decades.

I was asked to guest blog today on any subject of my choosing. Since we are coming close to Passover and I was gathering my “eight minute Hagadahs” for the seder I remembered a passage where they described different types of children; the wise, wicked, simple, and ignorant. This led me to think about different kinds of networkers as I see them.  

Professionally, I had a difficult week last week;  juggling several court appearances, late nights at the office, and a few emotionally charged cases. To say that I was pre-occupied with work last week would be an understatement.
