Words to the Wise III

As the final installment of my Juice Plus insert trilogy, today's subject is enhancing physical health and longevity.   In order to do so, try to get more of these three good things. 1. Sleep. Get at least seven hours of shut eye a tonight. Research shows people who sleep that much weigh less, get sick less often, have lower blood pressure, remembe

Reunion
Posted By : Benjamin Geizhals

They tracked me down. It was an email from an old high school friend forwarding information about the upcoming fiftieth reunion of my class at Brooklyn Technical High School. Frankly, I am not one for reunions and have not attended either a high school or college reunion. But there was something about the email that caused me to save it. Perhaps i

Month 2 Begins
Posted By : Cayce Crown

Here we are. One twelfth of the way through 2017. Is it what you thought it would be? For me, it is very different.   I never thought it would be so good. Or so bad. Mostly kind of amazing. I have seen astonishing things come from our government, confused people doing surprising things and the greatest unification of people since the 60s. Yes, I wa

Just OK

  This past weekend we saw Manchester By The Sea. Perhaps because we had such high expectations, we were disappointed. Casey Affleck is a very talented actor, but frankly, I though his portrayal was flat. I most liked the actor who played Casey's nephew, but perhaps because I have a 16 year old son. The movie was on the longer side for reason

It's Coming

Costco. I have learned that it’s one of those places that either you love it or you hate it. My husband and I love it. Although, those that know us will, undoubtedly, say that no one loves Costco more than my husband. And they would be correct. In fact, when my husband met my college roommate for the first time they immediately bonded, not because

Learning What The Public Ought To Know
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Watching the news unfold this weekend with demonstrations at the NYC airports and blocks away from where my Gotham Power Breakfast meets in downtown Brooklyn and places across the country, I found myself looking through my twitter and looking at my fave cable news outlet, NY1. A Day In The Life immediately came to mind.   Last week I discussed how

It's all about the wind
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

As you may know I like to drive fast and have gotten tickets in the past. (not anymore though:) I thought I new every excuse but this one takes the cake.   Deep in Western Australia a driver was caught speeding. Not unusual given the stretches of road, but he told police it was the wind’s fault. After the officer stopped laughing he wrote out a tic

Last week my blog was inspired by a Juice Plus insert and I follow it with another: So didn't work out the first time. Here are three tips to get you back on your feet. 1. Don't give up. Failing doesn't mean you're a failure. Failing means you tried. Most things worth achieving involve failing somewhere along the way. 2. Get thoughtful. Ask your

Keeping Current
Posted By : Benjamin Geizhals

Yesterday, I was at the Annual Meeting of the Health Law Section of the State Bar Association. I've attended the meeting yearly for many, many years. Although I get continuing legal education credit for attending, I find the meeting a great way to keep current on developments in health care law. It's also a nice way to network with my colleagues an

It's Going Around
Posted By : Nancy Schess

  Almost everyone I know has been sick recently. There are some pretty nasty bugs going around. Last week, that bug caught up with me. It took my whole week away. I wasn’t in the office for a single day. If you know me at all, you know that is not comfortable for me. I tend to push through things and just keep going so when I lose that choice

My Vacation "Souvenirs"
Posted By : Rona Gura

Anyone who knows me and my husband knows that, for many reasons, we love to travel. Clearly, one of the biggest benefits of travelling is getting away from work and stress and re-charging. For me, however, one of the most enjoyable benefits of travelling is learning something new and taking that knowledge home with me.   For example, while  in Ala

FREEDOM
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Despite the title, I promise absolutely no politics, no political diatribes of any kind in this commentary. Just some Chimes of Freedom.   You ask then how a discussion of Freedom involves none of the above. Well. Read on. You be the judge.   I planned to purchase an iPad in the Spring. Shelly enjoys hers. Jonathan has had several, one repurpos

I take Juice Plus daily vitamins under the sponsorship of Shelley Simpson. In addition to the health benefits that come in the capsules, there are also mental benefits.    Recently there was a written insert which I thought was quite instructive. The subject was being awesome and it stated "here are three ways to be more awesome.  1. Stop worrying

Uncle Joe
Posted By : Benjamin Geizhals

Last weekend was Uncle Joe's 92nd birthday. As we have for the past few years, Flo and I went down to Florida for a long weekend to see Uncle Joe and other relatives who no longer travel north. Joe is a survivor, both literally and figuratively. He survived the Warsaw Ghetto. He has had his share of loss and illness. But Joe was always a v
