My son, the light of my life, is about to turn nine years old. A week and a half left for me to enjoy his eight-year old self and brain. As an eight year old, he started solving more and more problems independently and liked it. He enjoys […]
We all know that Fridays are tough. You look forward to them arriving but once you are living it, the day goes by so slowly. Sometimes, agonisingly slow. I lived one such agony-filled day this past week. By 3pm, I already felt as if I had gone through […]
The sound of the ice cream truck has been one that I believe I can truthfully say I have not heard during the past eight years or so. First off, they wouldn’t stop in my New York suburban neighborhood because my town had 8,000 people. In NYC itself, […]

Look at that happy face. Too happy to be contained. Yet… Imagining a tsunami of tears coming over his face. His giggle. His bright eyes. His rambunctousness. Sadly, Nothing can prepare you for the sadness of a child. It is that thought and image that is running through […]
None of us likes being caught up in a trap. Most of us probably sympathized with Bugs Bunny versus Elmer Fudd. We didn’t really want him to trap that wacky wabbit. We also don’t like being duped. We don’t want to spend our hard-earned money on crap or […]
