What’s going on lately? I feel like everything around me is turning 50! Preservation Hall turned 50 and had an amazing show to commemorate it at Carnegie Hall. LIFE Cereal is 50 this year. Funny thing is, I never tasted LIFE Cereal before this year! There’s also a ton of...
Is the English Language Evolving?
The other day, I received a letter from my nephews in Florida. They thanked me for gift that I recently gave them. I read the letter and wondered if schools teach spelling anymore. I love my nephews who are in the sixth grade but after seeing Dear “Ant” Hilary and...
A Tat U?
I love tattoos. When I saw my first tattoo as a kid, I was frightened. “What is that?” I asked my mom. But it was always in front of the person and my mother would shush me to stop talking. As I got older in my teens, twenties and thirties,...

Are We So Conditioned Like Pavlov’s Dog?
Things happen, we respond. That’s a fact of life. But we all seem to have a little piece of Pavlov’s dog in us, as soon as we step foot on a plane. The two bells in the beginning of the flight means the front door is closed and locked. Then,...
Preservation Hall Turns 50…
A couple of months back, my husband, Brian, asked me if I wanted to go see Preservation Hall in concert at Carnegie Hall. I said, sure. I had never heard Preservation Hall play but I thought it might be an interesting concert, since this was its 50th anniversary. Growing up,...
I Went Shooting….
The other night, I was invited to an exclusive gun club in the village. Having never been to a gun club before, my Entrepreneurs’ Organization’s (EO) forum group was meeting there and I was excited to go,. When I walked in, it reminded me of some other private clubs in...
