Halloween is always one of those American holidays that intrigues me. It seems to me that every year on Halloween, everyone's alter ego comes out. Yesterday, for example, I was at Capital One bank opening up an account and was helped by a pirate and a construction worker. (In real...
KA at the MGM Grand Is A Grand Show!
When I saw a posting on the Blogworld web site saying that Cirque du Soleil was offering press passes to bloggers who attend BLOGWORLD '09, I jumped at the opportunity. The catch, Cirque du Soleil wanted bloggers to write about the performance that they saw. I didn’t have a problem...
Spinning Class – First time for me!
A few months back, Morris Stemp, my friend through Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) Forum, and I drove together to an EO conference in Atlantic City. On the ride there, he talked about spinning and how he really enjoyed it. "And you know you burn 600 calories," he said. 600 calories.... hmmmm.......
The Gym Week 2…
Today is day 2 of week 2 at the New York Sports Club. I decided to go to a Zumba Dance class with my good friend Madeline. I learned the night before that she had been a member there for a while and needed motivation to attend the classes. I...
Music Review: Heart/Journey Concert at the Coliseum
A few years back, when Angela Ruggiero, a former HJMT Account Executive, told me that she loved Journey I was shocked. Journey was a band of the 80's and 90's. I couldn't believe that she liked them. When I was growing up, I didn't like them. I thought of them...

Soon thereafter, vending machines included everything from cigars to soda in cups. A typical Coke vending machine...
Music Review: Deja Vu…CSN Back At The Beach…
Yes, I went to the Crosby, Stills and Nash Concert at Jones Beach tonight. I know...I know... they were a little before my time. And yes, I wasn't the only one who thought they would come out in walkers and canes. The crowd was saying the same thing. But you...
What A Great Golf Course!
When my husband and I were in Colorado Springs, we decided to play golf at the famous Broadmoor East course, which will be the home to the 2011 US Women’s Golf Open. The course was a little challenging but we both played it well. Occasionally we saw deer, other small...
Should I Justify My Love?
I love Madonna. I loved her back in the early 80's and I still love her music today. So, when I read the recent article written by Emily Nussbaum for New York Magazine (August 3, 2009 issue), I was disturbed. Ms. Nussbaum talks about her dissapointment with the Madonna of...
Fireworks on July 4 or July 10?
Image via Wikipedia I never heard of having fireworks a week after July 4th, but Long Beach, NY, the town in which I live, does things very differently. The last few years, they have held their annual fourth of July fireworks a week after the fact.This year, there were thousands...
