Fashion statement
Posted By : Mitch TobolThe new look for our times... Venturing outside is a cross between enjoying the outdoors, avoiding people and wondering if anything you touch could infect you. Stay strong, safe and healthy!

Birthdays
Posted By : Fred KleinMonday was another birthday. I was born 2,461,622,400 seconds ago in a raging, flash, New York City snow storm at Women’s Hospital. I came in an innocent at the weight of 9 pounds 8 ounces. Little did I know! My life’s dark corner stones: Pearl Harbor, “JFK Shot!”, 9/11 and now this presently incurable Pandemic! What next? It can only get bett …
Never be the same....
Posted By : Benjamin GeizhalsWashing my hands will never be the same.Finding paper towels on the supermarket shelf and throwing them into the shopping cart will never be the same.And hugging my family and friends will never be the same.
Thank Goodness for Gotham
Posted By : Carly BentleyThis past Friday, Gotham hosted a happy hour, via Zoom. It was fun! "When life gave them Quarantine, Gothamites made Quarantinis." It was good to see everyone and be "together", even if we couldn't be together, in the flesh. The best part was seeing everyone in their natural habitats. Their drink of choice, the convenience of refills and the belly …
I Need A Break
Posted By : Nancy SchessDon’t you? I’d like to spend one day not obsessing about washing my hands, the dangers of supermarket shopping or how much time it is going to take to clean my house. Bad and scary news is everywhere right now. Although I will be optimistic we will one day soon turn the corner, we haven’t yet. When this all started, I was consuming news all t …
GIF's
Posted By : Rona GuraAs we have all can admit, the amount of information bombarding us daily is more than we have ever had before. Whether you get your news by radio (remember those?), print media, television, online websites or social media, the amount of information out there is, to me, insurmountable. As before, people have taken to sharing information on soc …
Strange Days....Indeed
Posted By : Corey BearakThe phrase titling this blog comes from lyrics in a John Lennon tune. If I just chose the first two words, it recalls the title of The Doors’ second LP, Strange Days, featuring their second hit, “People Are Strange.” We keep reading how less busy those not working in “critical” aka “essential” functions find themselves. Perhaps. Not here. Since t …
A quick look
Posted By : Mitch TobolSome observations of my quarantined life... • Driving is great! You can cruise anywhere in record time. Hit about 110 on rte 135 the other day. • Wiping your whole body down with Purel every 5 minutes will give you a tingly feeling. • Zoom meetings are showing everyone's true colors, whether you want to see them or not. • Going to 7-Eleven …
Beautiful message from "Bill Gates"
Posted By : Fred KleinWe are all in this together and thank you to "Bill Gates" for helping us to find meaning in it. Please see his thoughts below and ponder: *What is the Corona/ Covid-19 Virus Really Teaching us?* I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being ba …
Loyalty
Posted By : Benjamin GeizhalsWe are members of a loyalty program at a local food store. Recently went for a walk and stopped by for takeout. As we were rung up, the cashier commented on the amount of rewards balance in our account. Did we want to use our points? Thoughts ran through our heads. Use the points or pay cash? And other thoughts. Will the store survive or will our …
American Ingenuity
Posted By : Carly BentleyDinner Plans? The highlight of the weekend was our impromptu dinner plans. Whilst my husband washed the floors on Friday, I quickly made our dinner reservations. We had choices.... Dinner at The Bentley Bistro, outdoor dining at Carly’s Cafe or the Chateau Bentley. Creativity and levity saved the day. Peace ebbs and flows, along with our creativit …
Silver Linings
Posted By : Nancy SchessLast night we “facetimed” with Bill’s cousins. These are wonderful people we haven’t seen in years. They live across the country. But in light of everyone hunkering down, they reached out to try to connect. So, as a bright spot in an otherwise tumultous day, we all got together, my kids and all, to catch up – with sound and video. It was so …
What Are You Doing?
Posted By : Rona GuraMitch shared a great list of possible activities to engage in during this time of quarantine. I would love to share a few of the specific things that my family and I have done. 1. Rearranging my clothes-Since I will not be wearing my “office and court clothes” for at least, six weeks, I rearranged my closet. My casual clothes are now in the fron …
Postponed
Posted By : Corey BearakI had looked forward to to a few road trips – well long rides – using my songs of the road playlist but it seems like many plans a lot of us looked forward to – Postponed. Indeed, over the last few week, many events I helped planned and/or planned to attend got the new “P” word; in a few circumstances, another word applied – “canceled.” I prefer po …
What to do?
Posted By : Mitch TobolIt's been quite a week. Businesses had to be 50% staffed, then 75% then 100%. States are locking down and people are still hoarding toilet paper.. I thought I might start a list of what you can do while sheltering in place. • Visit musuems online • Dust off that old instrument in your basement and give it a go • Put together a puzzle...that one i …
