I could tell you a lot about the professional lives of the Gotham members that I know, their profession, how they came to it etc. Unless I have sat down with them, however, and did a one-on-one (which I highly recommend) I do not know much more about them aside from their professional life. So, let’s do a virtual one on one here. I would love to …
In this era where it seems (and maybe it's reality) that we receive more bogus, phishing, sales and solicitation calls than calls from those we know, I long opted to answer, "Who's calling." Where I recognize the number as legit I answer the call with "This is Corey" or if the caller ID makes clear I know the caller, i often state hi or hello (na …
Last week, in Cohasset MA, a facilities director found electrical wires, temporary duct work, and a bunch of computers that seemed out of place while checking the local school (Cohasset Middle/High School). He reached out to the town’s IT director, who determined that it was a cryptocurrency mining operation unlawfully hooked up to the school’s …
My granddaughter sends me a weekly question and my responses are accumulated until year end. Then they are bound in a volume for the purpose of memorializing Family History. If the concept interests you please visit www.Storyworth.com. The question this past Monday was: What is one of the strangest things that ever happened to you? I resp …
Yesterday morning the announcer on WNYC reminded listeners that it was the last day to apply for the 2023 New York City Marathon. As I heard the brief announcement, I was preparing for a deadline of my own — it was the day that we can reserve our timeshare for next year. Experience has taught me that availability quickly evaporates so it’s best to …
I remember getting all dirty with newsprint. I kept wipes in my bag so that when the train pulled into Penn Station I could clean away all evidence of newspaper. These days instead, I browse. I read parts of the NY Times in the app on my phone. For a period of time, I did the same with Newsday. I read the NY Times Cooking section. And then …
How much do you share on social media? I am very careful about what I share. As a divorce attorney it amazes me what I can find out about people by just looking at their Facebook page. Recently the husband of a client surprised me a bit by calling me a “liberal” after a contentious settlement conference. I mentally re-examined what we had discus …
Next weekend, Saturday to be exact, after several days of team members, prospects, and some just hoping to gain a spot on my favorite baseball team gather in Port St. Lucie, actual games -- the Spring training variety -- commence. That prospect certainly excites this correspondent. How can you not after viewing that commercial during the Superbowl …
Traveling to California to see my daughter and son in law, we took Delta from NY to San Francisco. When I booked the flight my choice of seats were limited. However when we pulled back from airport to take off, to my surprise, the plane was half empty (or was it half full :) I guess the public is not flying to CA anymore? Did people change their …
What are your true feelings about Valentine's Day? I ask while Tuesday is still fresh in your mind. Is it just some manufactured Hallmark Holiday or is it romantic nirvana? Over the arc of our marriage we have always exchanged Valentine's cards, except this year. We mutually agreed it had become a played out ritual. Yet, as it happened, we had …
This was written on Sunday - a few hours before the Super Bowl…. The Super Bowl starts in a few hours and I’ll be watching. I played in the office pool and have two boxes. I haven’t checked the numbers on the boxes and I’m debating whether to check before the game.On the one hand, I want to watch the football game. On the other hand, it is fun to …
I had a doctor’s visit today. All fine, just a regularly scheduled checkup. I have been using this particular physician for close to twenty years. Each visit feels like we are catching up with each other. Before ever talking about anything medical a whole conversation transpires. What’s new? How has your year been? How are the kids? Did …
It’s the day after Super Bowl. We had over twenty people at our house last night. My husband habitually had a Super Bowl party since before we met. Since we got married, almost twenty years ago, we continued that tradition. As expected, and as most of us are, the day after Super Bowl, I am exhausted. The Super Bowl generally runs late my husband …
On a day where many friends gather to catch a game or use a game an “excuse” to gather, I want to thank friends working together to make nice things happen. I certainly have used this space to advocate for causes I support and work with and for. Many friends in and out of Gotham join me to support Services Now for Adult Persons (SNAP) where I …
I love my drive home from work. It's anywhere from 27 minutes to roughly 45. It totally depends on how fast I feel like driving. Last night was about 40 minutes, I was in a reflective mood. I listen to books (right now it's Sapiens, a fascinating perspective on our species), satellite and terrestrial radio, and sometimes I don't and drive in sil …
