Festivus 365
Do you want to get something off your chest? Let me give you some advice. There is a holiday known as Festivus, created by Daniel O’Keefe, a writer for the popular 1980’s comedy series Seinfeld. It’s celebrated on December 23rd and is an alternative for all other December holidays – such as Hannukah, Christmas and Kwanza. In…

Self-Improvement
The sun is just beginning to peek over the horizon, and I awake. Before I open my eyes, I make a mental note of five people for whom I am grateful today. Then, I count backwards from five… Five… four… three… two… On “one”, I open my eyes and get out of bed. So far, I…

Greetings From The Containment Zone
Unless you’ve been in the middle of a Rip Van Winkle nap since January, you are aware of the coronavirus. And if you live anywhere in or near New York City (like me), you are probably reading this because you’ve already washed your doorknobs, sanitized your phone, had your fourth cup of coffee and run…

Root Bound
Plants are a great way to jazz up any room. They add life, fresh air and cheer to any décor. While recently brainstorming on how to redecorate my home office (a/k/a The Mother Ship), I knew one thing for sure – I wanted lots of plants. Succulents are my greens of choice. They’re beautiful,…

There is something about that wide-eyed wonder that brings out the children in all of us. One day,…

I remember watching a TED Talk comparing the human brain to other animals. Our brains are more evolved because we cook our food. Could it really be that simple? It is, and here’s…

Daddy’s Greatest Hits
On weekdays, we didn’t see much of my dad – he’d usually leave the house before we got up for school. If he made it home in time, we’d all have dinner together and then, after the dishes were cleared, Dad would open his briefcase and spread out the work he brought home. He’d toil…

Horsing Around
Summers in my heyday included weekend trips to Lake George, sunbathing in Grafton Park, and the much-anticipated Saratoga Racing Season. Spending the afternoon at the flat track wasn’t just a day at the races; it was an event. Each year, I’d plan what I’d wear, how much money I’d bring, how much I’d be willing…

What’d You Call Me?
For the Podcast, click here! In the Old Testament, God sent Adam out to name all the animals. He came up with things like, dog, cat, hippopotamus – which is a lot of syllables for a guy who was just created. Kudos! Even so, people names can be a bit trickier because, let’s face it, a…
