Copper is expensive. So is all the other fine metals – gold, silver, etc. But come on. Did you see the new penny? It is the most flimsy penny I have ever seen. It’s shinny and new and it still has President Abe Lincoln on it, but it’s so thin....
Funny Things Always Happen in Business
There are funny things all around us. Since we are so wrapped up in ourselves, we can't enjoy the humor. The other day, I was meeting with a new business prospect who I knew on LinkedIn. We met at the Sweet Hollow Diner in Melville. I sat down first. The old...
So Glad Election Day Arrived!
This is the first year that this whole election process really bothers me. I drove to Kohl’s the other day in Oceanside and there were hundreds of signs from both parties. On the signs, there were no message just names. It was upsetting to me. It looked terrible with every...
Rochester is Beautiful This Time of Year
I was recently up in our Rochester office meeting with Lisa Gordon who is a HJMT Vice President. While there, I realized how beautiful it is upstate this time of year. All of the leaves turned fall colors – gold, orange and red. Together, the trees looked like a collection in...
What If Everything Could Talk?
The other day, I was out to dinner with my husband and my son. My son asked me an interesting question – if cows could speak, would we still eat them? Hmmmm…. I don’t think so but then I took it one step further. What if everything had a voice?...

Why Are We So Judgmental?
Why are people so judgmental? Why don’t we respect each other for who we are? Why are there so many people out there who judge everything you do, say and wear? It seemed to me that everyone went crazy about Arnold Schwartznager but did anyone think that his personal life...
The Who? Well Actually Just Roger Daltry…
The other night, I went to see Roger Daltry, lead singer of The Who, sing his famous rock opera, Tommy, at the Nassau Coliseum. The show was as amazing as you would expect. Daltry is now 68 years old and boy could he still belt one out! The thing about the...
Walking over a dead body???
I was in the city the other day and wanted to get my nails done. My staff and I were running an event for one of our clients and I wanted to look polished. For you guys out there to relate, it’s like needing a haircut. I had 15 minutes...
Why Are We Buried Separately?
I was driving to work taking a different route. Kristie Galvani told me that taking the Southern Parkway to Wellwood Avenue was much faster than taking the Long Island Expressway, so I decided to give it a try. I got off at Wellwood and I passed a slew of cemeteries....
