Unbridled Joy
Last night Doug and I attended a concert at Lincoln Center. It was the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and it was incredible. It was a concert with soulful big band versions of classic holiday tunes. If you want to get in the holiday spirit, go...
Gas—Brake
I have been driving a lot recently, which isn't always the case for someone like me who lives in an urban area. Yesterday, as I was driving home up the NJ Turnpike, I was well aware of both the gas and the brake peddle. As I entered the turnpike, the "Cars Only" lane...
Motivational Monday!
We have spent the past four days with my cousin, Bob, and his daughter, Paige. They come to NYC every year around now from Utah to get in the Christmas spirit, visit us, and have some fun. We do a lot, but it's in a very relaxed fashion. There is no harried schedule...

The Express Train
Tomorrow is December 1st. I cannot believe that we have one month left in 2023! And for me, December looks like it has about two weeks left in it for real, full-blown productive work. I'm calling the week of the 18th, when everyone starts to slowly but surely begin...
Giving Tuesday!
I was reading an article about the late Byron Wien. If you don't know who that is, fear not, neither did I. He was a long-time Wall Street man who provided insights on the economy, financial markets, and global affairs for 38 years. Prior to his death he was working...
