Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have all made changes in our business practices. One of the changes I have been forced to make is that I now do all my own billing. It is not a task I enjoy doing, but it is necessary. For me personally, imputing the billing is a tedious task and, as such, I look to avoid it. So, I had to force myself int …
On or after or sometimes before this day – always a Saturday eve, my (fraternal) lodge would hold a “sweethearts dance” and for the last couple of years it did not happen and a several couple got together on our own; this year the pandemic offered an easy excuse. Hopefully, next year will see its return. In the meantime on the first time Valentine’ …
After reading, listening, and watching the impeachment proceedings, I woke up today with this song floating around in my head from the Temptations...(forgive the editing:) Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the (preacher)And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the (teacher)Segregation, determination, demonstration, i …

Today - weather and other contingencies permitting - Flo and I will be getting our second dose of the Covid vaccine. It is slowly becoming clear to me that this will likely not be the last time we take a Covid vaccine. Just as the Covid vaccine may become a reality for years to come, I contemplate the other things that have become part of our new n …
Recently, I’ve been studying the power of raw foods and their affects on the human body. The Cure for Arthritis, by S.H. Shepherd has me sharpening my understanding of how the human body works in relationship to food, water and a healthy sun shower. Truthfully, it all started because I wanted the pain in my hip to go away, so I could gain 30 extr …
If you know me at all, you know that I am not a football fan. Sure, I enjoy the experience – mostly the food and the company. I also enjoy the commercials. This year felt as if fewer commercials grabbed me -- but there were a few. Some of my favorites: Indeed.com: Particularly given the current high rates of unemployment and so many people …
It happened again last night. I do not believe I will have to recount the details of what occurred after you read my questions. So here goes: Toilet seat, up or down? Why? And what about the cover?
On the eve on Superbowl LV, I think how different watching the game will be. It’ll likely be more of solo affair unless Shelly and I dine watching the beginning of the game (well we already ordered our meals yesterday so C’est possible at this writing). As shared on the eve of prior games, we join up with friends, sometimes in a diner in Brooklyn; …
Is someone truly great if their path includes cheating or aligning themselves with people who do? This question came up for me this morning when I was thinking about the Super Bowl and Tom Brady. He is often referred to as a G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time). His football acheivements are truly remarkable...6 Super Bowl rings and 10 appearances. No …
I start this blog without any idea as to where it’s going or how it’s going to end... All I know is that I need to know what’s going on? Thank you Marvin Gaye for your inspiration and timeless plaint! Maybe that’s all there is and it’s for you to answer! What’s going on for you?
One day last week I glanced over and the pile of books beside my night table called out to me. I realized that I hadn’t read a book in quite a while.I considered the reasons for this phenomenon: my addiction to my iPad as a constant source of news, the fact that my laptop is always open and readily available since the onset of working remotely, the …
Perhaps you've met Nelson Mishkin? Nelson and I met in 2004. He is one of those special people that was brought into my life at the right time, for something greater than I anticipated and has been in my life ever since. Nelson is a past Gotham Member, a true member of the tribe. He lives the motto of giving over receiving, and knows that what he g …
Well, at least for me. I started listening to podcasts a little while ago. I found that it was a great way to enhance (and extend) my walks. And of course, they were a fun way to break in my new Air Pods. I also find podcasts an interesting way to keep up on current events and meet some interesting people. Of course, I won’t share the podcasts …
As I write this blog, it is Sunday and I am listening to the weather reports predicting a major snow storm. I sit here and wonder, now that most of our work is done virtually, what will a snow day look like in a virtual world? Will students whom are learning online be given a snow day? How will school districts coordinate the effect of a snow da …
