Have You Been?
Posted By : Nancy Schess

As a group, we’ve been blogging a lot lately about movies.  Rona has a movie studio in her basement.  During the pandemic, my family room became our Saturday night movie night space. But here I am thinking about an actual movie theatre.  All through the pandemic, movies opened straight to the small screen and we learned the power of Roku.  Lately,

First Day of School
Posted By : Nancy Schess

All day yesterday, I couldn’t escape that first day of school feeling.  Frankly, I’m not sure I wanted to escape it.  With the benefit of hindsight, I look back fondly on those firsts.   So off I went – or better said “we” went – bright and early to venture to a new firm to start a new adventure with our team.  I got dressed, packed a bag, found m

Again?
Posted By : Nancy Schess

OK, Rona started this conversation yesterday -- and then today it turned personal, yet again.   Bill has COVID.  He was the last hold out in our family – and now I’m stuck on what to do with the 17 pound turkey defrosting in my refrigerator.    I know he isn't alone, and neither are we in lamenting disrupted family plans.  [Maybe Rona and Bill shou

No Place to Sit
Posted By : Nancy Schess

Has anyone been to Penn Station lately?   It is shaping up to be beautiful – bright, high ceilings and more.  But have you had occasion to get there early and want to sit to wait for your train?  Apparently, that is not in the cards.   Last Saturday night we took the LIRR on the later side in the evening, but we were early.  The main waiting room w

Early and Good
Posted By : Nancy Schess

I learned that I am a fan of early voting.   Sometimes it has been difficult to vote with Election Day falling on an inconvenient date or time.  But I always vote. I can’t think of an election I’ve missed as an adult.   Early voting really helps.  With so many choices of dates, times and locations it made voting a breeze this year.  Sure, there wa

Old Habits
Posted By : Nancy Schess

I worked late last night which meant that I was surfing Grubhub for dinner.    All good.  Dinner ordered and back to work.  When the lobby called, I went down to pick up that dinner, said hello to the nice gentleman behind our desk in the lobby and headed back upstairs.   And now here is the point of my story.  When I was comfortably leaning on th

Trick or Treat
Posted By : Nancy Schess

It is now less than a week away.  Will you celebrate? Will you dress up?    When my kids were young, Halloween was a glorious spectacle.  Lots of costume planning and changing. And oh, the candy.   Three Musketeers are my favorite.  I remember one year my son and his best friend went around the neighborhood gathering my favorite candy for me.  They

Your Favorite Oldie
Posted By : Nancy Schess

I am sucker for old television. I know that I am a grown woman but watching shows I remember from when I was young is like going back in time.   I grew up in Brooklyn in an attached house. Our living space was small, but comfy. On the counter right next to the kitchen table where we ate every meal, sat our black and white 14 inch TV.  We had three

Interview Networking
Posted By : Nancy Schess

This past week, I presented  a webinar for the NYSBA about post-interview do’s and don’ts. I described the process of searching for a job as one long networking experience.   Here is my theory.  Every time a candidate engages with a potential employer, they are making a contact and getting to know someone.  Every interview, is an opportunity to mee

Your Favorite Room
Posted By : Nancy Schess

I read an article the other day about that posed the following question – what is your favorite room in your home?   I thought about that question for days but really couldn’t decide.  I did narrow it down though to a three way tie.   I love my kitchen.   It is one of those spaces where I picked everything out when it was new (enough years ago) an

Puppy Love
Posted By : Nancy Schess

I am pretty sure I’ve written a variation of this blog before, but I am even more smitten now, so I am writing it again.   About six months ago, my grand puppy came into our family as a rescue.  He is a brown Labrador mix with just the sweetest eyes.  While it takes him a little time to relax, once he knows you, you can’t miss all of that boundless

Yet Another Pandemic Shift
Posted By : Nancy Schess

Has anyone else notice that stores are not stocked the way they used to be?   I have been trying to fill in with a few pieces of clothing for the upcoming season. This is a sort of ordinary and regular tradition.  Frankly, when we did school clothes shopping with the kids it was always an excuse for me to buy something new too. You know, hopping o

The Next Generation
Posted By : Nancy Schess

I admit I’ve been a bit of a royal watcher over the years.  It started with my interest in Diana.   The past few days have been historic for royal watchers.  Literally, the world changed.   With the passing of the Queen, a new era is ushered in.  I can’t help but think will we see real differences in the way the monarchy comports itself?  It has be

Do We Change?
Posted By : Nancy Schess

This weekend, I was visiting with my mom, and we were cleaning up some papers in her house.  We came across a copy of the recommendation that my daughter’s high school guidance counselor had written to accompany her college applications.  Let’s do the math – that was nearly ten years ago. [Let’s also look right past the age spots sprouting on my ha

A Fast Food Indulgence
Posted By : Nancy Schess

I’ll admit it.  On occasion, I am a fast food fan.  Not always – but sometimes, when a guilty pleasure calls.   For me, that indulgence is always McDonalds. There is not much variation for me, it is a golden arches kind of thing with a nod to the best French Fries around.   Are you with me?
