What’s your favorite time of day? I’m an early bird. I can’t help it. Even when I want to sleep in, I can’t. My body considers 9 am to be late. Sadly, or unfortunately, my dog is an even earlier “early” bird than I am. This past morning, […]
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. This has been an extremely trying year. And, after each challenge, I felt “excited” about either moving on or making it through to the other side. You don’t go through a year of a spouse’s death, cancer diagnosis […]
I am currently in a foreign country, having a glass of wine watching my son across the table. The waiter asked him whether he wanted a glass of wine as well. I chuckled and noted that he had just turned 15. The waiter shrugged and asked again. My […]
I love high heels. For work. However, out on cobblestone streets or potholed New York City streets, high heels are a bit impractical. I laugh a little bit when I see women wobbling in 5-inch heels on the Brooklyn Pier. Why do people subject themselves to that? I […]

Create an emergency preparedness plan. A few years back, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released guidelines as to what to do in a zombie apocalypse. People laughed, giggled, and were generally bemused. What were to make of such guidelines? Did the CDC know something that […]
What is a word you feel that too many people use? Every year, there are a few words that just get overused to the point that they are meaningless, have lost their oomph, or are a conversation ender. We went from “on fleek” to “OK, boomer” to “woke.” […]
