I love LEGO and I suppose it’s in my DNA because my daughters, particularly one of them, are LEGO building fanatics.

It’s Rosh Hashanah- the Jewish New Year. For those of you non-Jews out there Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur make up the High Holidays. Basically the one time of year that most Jews go to some sort of service and feel officially Jewish. I grew up secular to a fault. We did not even go [...]

Yes a good portion of the country is already back at school but here in NYC we still have a week to go – and then we have only one day before we’re off for two days because of the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah – The Jewish New Year. (Yes that’s right, here in NYC [...]

Last week when the media world was all aflutter with Steven Slater the Jet Blue flight attendant and his incredibly brash and dramatic exit down the emergency slide, beer in hand and profanities flying, everyone wondered if all civility and decency had finally been lost in air travel. But, this past Monday, according to news [...]

My daughters left for sleep-away camp on Monday. They come home on Sunday. A short one week trial of sleep-away camp to see if they’d like it, to give them a gentle nudge towards independence. (At least that’s the way my hard core camp husband sold it to me.) Here’s the thing about sleep-away camp [...]
