I've booked the first of our mini family vacations and I’m kind of excited about going somewhere new. Once the Cape thing fell apart, I consulted with my crew and Toronto came up as a potential destination. After a moment of insanity when I actually considered doing Cleveland, Niagara Falls and Toronto, I got real … Continue reading Pieces of summer

Balancing act
I can see June around the corner and she looks beautiful. Only a few more weeks and I’ll be enjoying 10 weeks of summer vacation – more time with loved ones, late nights, somewhat unstructured days and actual free time.

I will spend hours outdoors walking around to see as many of Gaudi's buildings as possible. Should there be rain, I will check out the Picasso museum. I will … Continue reading Next week when I’m in Barcelona…
Inspiring vs. Inciting – Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump
Yesterday was a huge day for politics in Albany, our Capital City on the Hudson. My schedule only allowed for me to attend one of the three pre-primary political rallies, but I am ever so proud to say that my older sons represented at the two events held during the early afternoon. How cool is … Continue reading Inspiring vs. Inciting – Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump
