While some debate whether Twitter is a time-waster, or why bother posting on Facebook, one notion remains clear: Social media resonates powerfully with how we live now. So much so, it’s as though this tool fills a void, prompting the question: What did we do pre-social media, and why do...
My First NBA Game…
I had my first cavity when I turned 40, so why does it surprise you that I saw my first NBA game this evening? I bought a bunch of tickets for my son for the holidays and tonight was our first game at Madison Square Garden. We saw the Knicks...
Have A Good Workout?
Every time I walk into New York Sports Club, I get my card scanned and the woman or man behind the desk says, "enjoy your workout!" Enjoy my workout? I could barely get motivated to go to the gym, let alone, enjoy the workout. Who enjoys the workout? You do...

It’s Christmas Time, Did You Get Your Update?
I don’t know about you, but every year I get an update from several members of my extended family. They talk about their lives, their children’s lives, the travel they did and about their pets. I get these every year and I think, “who cares?” I don’t want to sound...
Do You Foursquare?
When I first read about Foursquare in Mashable, I got excited. A new social networking site to me is like un-chartered territory for others. When I first signed in to Foursquare, I didn’t get it. I thought it was just a variation of Brightkite. But once I got into it,...
