Some of you may already know (well really, if you’ve spent a minute with me recently I’m sure you know because I’ve been busting with pride).   

My youngest daughter, Sydney, got engaged last Friday night. While my husband and my other children knew it was happening, it was a surprise for Sydney.   Interestingly, after it happened and we spoke to the happy couple, I found myself in a race against social media. We wanted to call/text those closest to us before they saw the news on Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. In some cases, the race was really close.  

Marisa always liked take your daughter to work day.  She enjoyed coming to work with dad and participating in the activities there. Fast forward to the present and it almost feels like we reversed roles. I shared with Marisa the early invite I received to the attend the 2022 State of the Borough Address by the Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, and she promptly registered to attend; it made sense in her role as Assistant Director at AJC (American Jewish Committee) New York.

A guinea pig has created a world record, as confirmed by Guinness World Records, by achieving the most basketball slam dunks in 30 seconds by a guinea pig. The animal is called Molly, and lives in Dombóvár, Hungary, with her owner Emma Müller.    Speaking to Guinness, Müller says that Molly has a huge passion for sport and other activity. “Molly absolutely loves to play basketball” she said.   Maybe the Knicks should draft her...

There are thoughts I think which I would never say out loud for fear of Bad Luck or jinxing myself.

Deadlines. We all have them and we all need them. Whether self imposed or imposed upon us by others. How we deal with them makes all of the difference — from feeling in control to feeling overwhelmed.I try to plan and anticipate deadlines.

Many of us like to enjoy the stage offerings of NYC, but are hesitant because of the price and date commitments.  A great way to be involved is purchasing a subscription to your favorite cultural activity.

For my travel friends out there, I have a question for you.  How do you plan a visit to a new city? What are the special things you are looking for?   Historic sites? Beaches? Weather? Restaurants? Sports activities?
