“Are you vaccinated?” Is that the question that you can, or can’t, ask?Lawyers are struggling with the question in several contexts and it has become a political football.

May the Forth be with you! I know it’s Cinco de Mayo, but, I love Star Wars. To all those Star Wars fans out there, I was reminded of wisdom Yoda shared with young Luke, while stretching his abilities in the swamp. When we clear our minds and decide to DO something, we commit to seeing it thru. I love Yoda and am reminded to remain present. For when we live in the present, we can live fully. No! Try not. Do. Or, Do Not. There is no trying

List making is not only my best organizational tool but it is also oddly the activity that calms my stress. It is as if once I’ve written it down, in some order and with clear intent, I’ve taken the most important step towards completion and “checking it off”. I literally use a program that lets me check something off the list because of that feeling of accomplishment that comes with the effort.

I am a person who loves her routines, especially my Saturday morning routine. My husband works on Saturdays so I have the time to myself. Almost every Saturday morning, I exercise, do my office billing, write my blog, and then do my errands. That is pretty much the way my day goes most Saturdays.  

Some may have noted someone MIA....again... at the Gotham Happy Hour. Sometimes the logistics work not at all. The intention remains. Parental duties intervened. Our son yesterday moved into home number 10 yesterday morning; his parents helped him and his fiance finish their “exit” from downtown Brooklyn across Adams Street from where his uncle works; that part of the move just conflicted a bit with the Gotham gathering. Hopefully, I make the next one.  

Leaves, flowers, bushes, you know...all the stuff that grows in the spring.   George Orwell said it well...“The point is that the pleasures of spring are available to everybody, and cost nothing.”   I'm partaking. Recently, a landscaping crew left a big mess in my yard when they replaced a retaining wall that was destroyed this past winter from a huge black loctus that fell crushing all in its path.  

We’re Home! Home to the real World! Home to Family! Home to our day to day responsibilities (and to commuting)! Home to Spring (in time to plant our garden)! Home to new experiences! You can always come home again! There’s no place like Home Sweet Home!

Last Saturday night, at around 9:15, I walked outside to check the night air. I looked up and saw a group of six or seven orange objects moving across the sky from the southwest to the northeast. They glowed and appeared to be ablaze.As the first group slowly disappeared, a second group of two or three appeared and followed.
