You’ve got to be impressed with this religion. In preparation for the fast day, we have a fast day! One would have thought that one was enough in such a short time period.   The 10 days of repentance start and end with a fast day! So maybe there’s a way to look at…

Do we really wonder why there is more anxiety these days than ever before?!   Imagine when many of us were kids. What made us nuts? I can’t even remember! Maybe a lot of what we heard about, or our history. But in general I think just upcoming tests or friends leaving us out. Not…

  We are very into abbreviations. Especially, now that we communicate almost more by text than talk. People just don’t talk much anymore. They won’t say I’m a Physician’s Assistant or a Physical Therapist. They’ll say I’m a PA or a PT.   But think back-Did anyone ever used to say I’m a BM. Well,…

  When the baby boom generation was growing up, Catskill comedians were a big phenomenon. Entertainment in the mountains was always a comedian.   And everyone was in the mountains!

  Here’s the big G question! — Which is more difficult, finding the Guy or the Gown? Now for some that might sound like a ridiculous question. Yet, not to sound like I categorize people, but those people who think it’s a ridiculous question are usually the ones who only have to decide which tie…

  You can’t drive anywhere!! And your car’s perfectly fine. You can’t use your phone, even though it’s fully charged. You can’t cook or go to a restaurant.  What are you supposed to do, starve?!  You can’t watch TV, shop, or spend money! Hooray??!!   Does that sound stifling?   Yet —You can relax, notice…

  There’s a time in a toddler’s life when you can give them a little pasta, a little pizza, and they are a happy camper! But somehow – you are not!! Oy, you think- I wish they’d eat something besides pasta and pizza. Even though you know they sell healthy, whole wheat pasta, completely protein…

  Many may think all women love to shop. But, here’s an interesting realization I have come to. There are women who love to shop, and women who really don’t.   When you see a woman carrying a few boxes of recently purchased shoes, a new purse, and 4 new outfits, you can probably bet…
