I was re-reading Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from a Birmingham Jail and I had to pause to take a deep breath a time or two. Not because his letter was a tear jerker - it's not. It's truth spoken to power and is not at all sentimental. The ideas from his letter that [...]
The world moves too fast for my liking sometimes. Not that I can't keep up, I can thank you very much, but more that I like having a second or two for analysis. At the office you have to be able to do both and in general I can do that too (though I prefer [...]
Usually around this time of the year I am excited about rolling into the fun of the fall, and the awesomeness of the Holiday Season in NYC. We already purchased Dev's Halloween costume, and we're trying to decide on which orchard we will be picking apples and pumpkins at this year. Fall really is [...]
This past weekend my wife was sick with some kind of 24 hour bug. I was glad to see her resting for a change, but not under the circumstances. I purchased the soup and juice needed to combat any sickness and plowed her with acetaminophen to keep the fever down. I am also a self [...]

I drive a Hyundai. I'm not embarrassed by that fact - it's practical, sturdy and affordable. But I do fantasize about the sports car and the Big Body Benz. So when RIDEMAKERZ contacted me for a giveaway I was in! And it didn't hurt that I was familiar with the brand. Dev and I once [...]
I've been a Bob Marley fan since the weekend in my teens when I visited my brother at the University of Pennsylvania and discovered that he had the Reggae master's full library on CD. I was mesmerized - it was some of the best music I'd ever heard. So when I found out that there [...]
In the age of sky rocketing healthcare costs it's wise to take the idea of prevention seriously. Add kids to the mix and working toward preventing life threatening ailments becomes a no-brainer. We have to do our absolute best to stay alive for the sake of our kids and families. Of course not everything is [...]
