Open for Business
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Throughout last month, Shelly and I had talked of getting our deck, aka my Outside Office, ready. Before deploying the furniture, the first step involves a good power-washing of the deck, its railing and the patio below. It also involves cleaning the table and chair, covered by tarp for the last several months. This year, my loving wife handled all

Eating Eco
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

No not some person or animal named eco but adopting an eco-friendly diet.   This occurred to me this morning when I tied up the garbage bag in the kitchen. We throw out so much even though I'm an ardent recycler. I found this...something to think about when you go shopping.   Start by choosing locally sourced produce, which reduces transportation

A Snowbird's Farewell
Posted By : Fred Klein

Yes, we are "Snowbirds" (northerners who move to a warmer southern state to escape Winter) and we have been escaping in Paradise (Key West) for four warm, fun filled, months and, truth be told, as I write this, I am sad to leave.   But leave we must as Family and an alternative, full, abundant life awaits us in Springtime New York.  What will I mis

   As I looked around the table at the 19 Gothamites and guests in the dining room deep below street level on East 54th Street, I thought about all the years of in-person Gotham networking meetings.       And I thought about Covid and the lockdown and Zoom.       And, as we went around the table, in-person, I thought about our transition, the futur

To connect with the West Coast, I am often online at night too, making for long and productive days. My time spent looking at the screen - both on the phone and computer - has gotten longer. Picking up and looki

Summertime

Every year, I look forward to the kick off of spring and the move to my deck.  Working outside in my backyard is my happy place.   I feel like yesterday was a false start.  It was over 80 degrees and sunny on Long Island and I was longing to get outside.  Unfortunately, my backyard wasn’t ready for me.  Our furniture is still wrapped in plastic.

Honeymoons
Posted By : Rona Gura

My daughter and her husband are currently in Greece on their honeymoon. Wikipedia defines a honeymoon as  “a holiday taken by newlyweds after their wedding to celebrate their marriage.”   My husband and I took two honeymoons. It’s a second marriage for both of us wherein we were blending a family of two children each. So, immediately, after we got

So tomorrow is April 29; 4/29 if use we use just numbers. When I went to post today’s blog, I was greeted by a message (see upper left) that I have 428 posts (Today is 4/28.). That means the blog that post today is #429. A coincidence. Any significance. Something to ponder. I posed that question to Google. I learned that there is something called
