Tech nightmare
Posted By : Daniel Schwartz

As I write this blog on my phone due to my technology nightmare, please forgive any spelling or gramtical errors. I had been in NY last week to enjoy the Gotham golf dinner as well as visiting some of my clients and prospects.

Billy Joel: And So It Goes
Posted By : Nancy Schess

Well done.    Having grown up with Billy Joel as his music career grew up, I thoroughly enjoyed this “backstage” story of a man born and raised in Hicksville, Long Island – the town from which I commute every day.   This two-part documentary had Billy, and the people closest to him, take us through his life in an often unflattering, but brutally h

Changing Perceptions
Posted By : Rona Gura

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about a question an author raised, through her characters, in a novel I recently read. Here’s another question one of the characters asked in the book that made me stop reading and think:   Does your perception of a book change when and where we read them?   I would have to answer that question yes.   One of my favor

Why do we vilify?
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Political violence is, unfortunately, increasing. Each incident raises questions for me that go way beyond the individual at the center of the story. These moments are not just about one politician, commentator, or activist; they’re about the climate we’re all living in and the direction we’re sadly heading.   Reuters has reported about 150 politic

Perfect Sandwiches
Posted By : Fred Klein

Last weekend Joanne made me one of her perfect sandwiches.  So perfect that I was compelled to blog its (her) praise.  It was a turkey and cheese sandwich:  Boar's Head Turkey breast, Muenster cheese on Dave's Killer (21 Whole Grains And Seeds) organic bread with romaine lettuce (for the crunch) supplemented by Hellmann's Mayonnaise (secret ingredi

As the elevator doors opened, I saw the smoke billowing in the distance through the wide windows facing south behind the receptionist’s desk. It was the morning of September 11, 2001.As I take a few moments today to commemorate and contemplate, my thoughts begin with the memory of where I was and those first and following moments, hours and days.

Career Chameleons
Posted By : Shelley Simpson

When I started my business 18 years ago, all I had to know was how to talk to people, use a phone and be able to mail CDs in stamped, self-addressed envelopes to people too far away to meet in person. It was much simpler then and I don’t think I'm alone in having to stay on top of a rapidly changing business landscape.    Technology keeps changing,

The Luckiest Blogger
Posted By : Nancy Schess

I don’t know how I fell into such luck to be your Tuesday blogger – rather than any other day of the week.  Being your Tuesday blogger means that every year I get to tell you all about our golf outing.   Here is the lesson of the day – always, and again this year.  When you bring 80 professionals together for an entire day to have fun, enjoy the be
