On its own, the mere accumulation of so many years is cause for celebration, but, even more so, we must celebrate how his (triumph of the will) determination carried him through extended travail which would …
There’s a crystal shop in Great Barrington. Lots of meditation, wellness and supporting crystals.Thinking that a smooth stone in a pocket would be nice - pink quartz is very calming - we ventured in.Inspecting the abundance of quartz, there was one that stood out .

Here is the catch. You must be dead and cremated. If this can work, there are several companies that will fly your ashes to space and bring them back down to earth for about $3,500. Not too bad if you don’t have the means, while alive. For about three decades, a company based in Texas has billed itself as the first and most prominent business to o …
A few weeks back, Bill and I had dinner with some new friends. We were all just getting to know each other. When one shared about her children, my first question was – where do your children live? A little while later we both laughed at my perspective. Both of my grown children live in far away states. Air travel is definitely required. (Well …

Each team -- the New York Mets and the New York Yankees -- blasted three home runs; albeit none by Friday's fave Yankee who wears #99. The difference involved the three Mets blas …
Not long ago, the South Shore Mall on Sunrise Highway in Bay Shore was a bustling hub of activity with families shopping, teens hanging out, and department stores like Macy’s anchoring the experience. But two weeks ago, the Macy’s sign was taken down. A metaphor for the shifting landscape of retail. It’s not that people have stopped shopping. The …

For months now, I’ve been getting a lot of phone calls from numbers I don’t recognize. I don’t answer and they always leave a voicemail about a personal loan that I never applied for. The voicemail indicates that if I don’t respond and complete my application, this loan opportunity that I never asked for will go away. Of course, I’m on the “do n …
