There are so many television shows that have been rebooted in the past few years. There was “Murphy Brown,” Will and Grace,” “Full House,” “Twin Peaks” and “Roseanne.” Now, even “Beverly Hills 90210,” has been rebooted. I was a fan of most of the shows while they were in their peak. And I have enjoyed some of the reboots such as “Will and …
I am not a singer. In fact, I am a bit envious of those people who can sing. The only time you might “catch” me singing would be alone in my car, with the windows closed, when certain songs are played on the radio. It happened to me on Friday afternoon as I drove home from work. It had been a good week at work and I was in a particularly go …
How often are you thankful that you thought before you typed? This week I was so happy that I did. I received an email this week from another attorney that viciously attacked me, both personally and professionally. To call the email unprofessional would be a massive understatement. The email, which also attacked my client, was cc’d to the two oth …
I’m writing this blog on Sunday. The weather prediction for today is 97 degrees with a heat index much higher. I just made myself a large cup of iced coffee, my favorite drink in the heat. My plan for the rest of the day is to spend the day in my backyard in my pool. My family will tell you that it must be really hot outside if I am in t …
Anyone who knows me, or have read my blogs, knows I enjoy shopping for clothing, pocketbooks, handbags etc. I know that sometimes, professionally, I will use my clothes to make a statement. For instance, during a recent four-day long hearing, I purposely wore very professionally looking, dark suits. To me, my choice of dress made a statement to the …
Those of us with professional licenses have something in common, registration and continuing education requirements. Attorneys are required to reregister every two years and have completed twenty-four credits of continuing education, during the two year period. My husband, a chiropractor, has to reregister every three years and complete thirty-si …
About two years ago I became a fan of French pressed coffee. I found the coffee was smoother than in my other preferred method, a Keuring. On weekends I happily used my French Press to make myself a treat; a better cup of coffee. The only issue with my French Press was that I found that I could not drink all the coffee I made in one cup. And when …
For most of my adult life, I loved to sleep late on the weekends. Even when my children were young, when they would wake up earlier than me on weekends, I would pull them into my bed and let them watch television while I dozed. Several months ago, all that changed. A friend wanted to attend Weight Watchers with me but was only available ver …
Like most of us, I have a professional email address and a personal email. Unlike everyone else, however, I am a pushover for a discount pitch wherein I get a percentage off on a purchase when I give my email address. You know the ploy, you get an extra 15% off when you provide an email address. So now my personal email is flooded with sale …
Ever since the United States reestablished tourism to Cuba, my husband and I talked about going. Our dream became a reality when we booked a cruise with friends to Havana out of Tampa for this September. That dream came crashing down this week when the United States government banned cruise ships from docking in Cuba. Within a day of the announce …

As I sat down to write this blog, I had no idea as to what I would write about. I started surfing the net for inspiration but found much of the news, especially that out of Virginia Beach, upsetting and depressing. Just as a goof, I googled "happy news stories." Up popped the website Sunnyskyz.com. I clicked on it and immediately smiled. The m …
With Memorial Day upon us both me, and my fellow bloggers, are all thinking about bar-b-que. So my queries on this Memorial Day are simple, hotdog or hamburger? And mustard or ketchup? Personally, I am a hotdog person. Most often with ketchup (sacrilege?) but sometimes with mustard and sauerkraut. Happy Memorial Day Gotham!!
I generally keep my political views off of social media. I never quite understood the use of social media to express individual political views. I always felt it was better to express one’s politics in more conventional ways, voting, rallying, and financial contributions. If you’re my friend on Facebook, you know that I did post a politi …
The political issues involved in this topic aside, I am unsure about how I feel about Uber as a service. For the longest time I rebelled against Uber. I went to law school in New York City and always prided myself in my ability to easily hail a cab. While I also use subways often, yellow cabs were always my “go to” for short trips in the city. …
It's Monday, Monday. Let me know what you think about. . .
