The last couple of months I’ve been feeling stagnant. I injured my knee and haven’t been motivated to work out. In December, I decided that enough was enough and that I would push myself. I joined Equinox in Woodbury and started training with a personal trainer two days a week. ...
Twitter and the Long Island Association…
The other day, I attended the Long Island Association annual breakfast meeting with both Nassau County and Suffolk County Executives – Ed Mangano and Steven Bellone. I was really impressed with both of them. As they spoke, I checked in on Foursquare. I noticed that there were three other people...
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,...

There’s a mysterious woman who works on my floor at Greenway Plaza. She wears a blue dress every day. I’m not quite sure if it’s the same dress or if it’s a variation, but every dress is blue. I can spot her anywhere. I catch the blue dress walking down...
I’m Still Thinking About Dick Clark and the New Year’s Eve Show…
I know that New Year’s eve has come and is now far behind us, but I’m still thinking about Dick Clark and the recent New Year’s Eve show on ABC. That show was such a waste! I guess I never noticed how bad it was in prior years because at...
Google Plus and the Early Adopters…
I find it interesting that Guy Kawasaki, Robert Scoble, Pete Cashmore, Steve Rubel and Seth Brogin. primarily use Google Plus. This social networking site, seems like the site of choice among early social media adopters. Google Plus is similar to Facebook but integrates gmail, calendar, YouTube videos, photos, etc. into one...
Password Stink!
I can’t tell you how many times I change my password because I forgot which one I used. Since I saw Kristie Galvani put all of her passwords in a little black book, I decided to do the same thing. The only problem with that is you need to update...
