Is that it? I can't help but wonder if the sparse snowfall we've experienced is all we're getting this season.   Climate patterns are shifting, and with them, our expectations of seasonal norms. Only time will tell.   I may have to move to Buffalo.     

Last week when my turn came at the joint Queens/Westchester Zoom networking meeting, rather than do my usual presentation, I "Spit":My name is Fred, most people my age are dead.   This Rap shows my Cred and my quest is to make you bread! You should have seen the stunned faces on the full Zoom screen and some who weren't paying full attention evenasked me to repeat it.  Which, of course, I did :) All in one's continuing quest to remain relevant! New career?

As a young child my family took me to Miami Beach.

As I sit in a hotel room in Woodlawn, MD tonight, preparing for what might be the most consequential meeting of my career, I ponder the meaning of my work. Am I stressed? You bet I am!  Do I work too many hours? Absolutely! Do I have work life balance? Arguably, many would say a resounding NO! 

  Coming out of the pandemic (although I’m not sure we ever really have come out of the pandemic), I’ve learned that I really like my time in the office.  The hustle, bustle and plain social nature of being around a group is just plain fun.     

I was recently reminded that, no matter what, I sleep on my side. And, specifically, I sleep on my left side. My husband sleeps on his back.   I had injured my left shoulder, making sleeping on my left side painful. I tried sleeping on my back and then my stomach, as both positions were much less painful. But I could not do it. I had to sleep on my right side. While it felt awkward for me, I finally fell asleep.   What position do you sleep in?

Annually, in the middle of winter, something happens that brings a bout of optimism.  It especially matters when my green gridiron team, unfortunately more often than not, falls short of expectations, or worse offers no expectations.  My hoops team based at MSG, some of the time, but this year especially, helps temper the upset.  So as the game played on the diamond and abutting green space returns, I look forward to some things happeng on the field that bring smiles more often than not.

We are in the midst of the lightning fast changes in Artificial intelligence. Right now I can type a simple sentence into only AI video apps such as invideo.ai  and in a few minutes, it creates a 2 minute video. As an example I just created this video about Gotham starting at 7:15Am this morning. It took 10 minutes for the software to create and produce it. (use this link if you can't hear it) Gotham AI Video
