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 …
We recently flew to Michigan overnight to attend a long-time friend’s son’s wedding. The wedding was beautiful and a reflection of the love and affection everyone who attended had for both families. Going to and from the airport and the venue from our hotel required a few Uber trips for us. I always try to strike up a conversation with our car …
Yesterday, Gotham (& FDR Lodge 613 Knights of Pythias co-) hosted an afternoon at a warm Citi Field. Perhaps "hot" better represented the day, not just for the heat. 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.

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 …
No, not that one. Baby birds happily floating from the antennae on top of my roof to the long branch of a well rooted tree. Mama bird showing her babies how to take advantage of the musical bird feeder next door. The warmth of the sun dancing through the leaves while watching this season’s nests build way up high in the tree. Dinner on the …
I decided to do some spring (maybe now summer?) cleaning in my closet this week. Cleaning out my closets was long overdue, and I finally tackled the chaos head-on. I found clothes I hadn’t worn in years, mystery cords, and more than a few forgotten memories. Letting go of clutter felt surprisingly liberating—like making space for a lighter, clear …
