Just have fun! :)))))) With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been thinking about what to do this year. It’s one of my favorite days of the year, as I get to share some extra love for my amazing wife Jackie, my beautiful daughters and their significant others, and of course the grandkids. I […]
Albert Spalding created some serious fun for all of us!!!!!!! As I prepare my weekly posts, I love to find a topic I know little about, go internet and history digging, and come out way smarter than when I started. (my lovely wife Jackie reminds me just how many things can make me “way smarter”, but […]
Breakfast! One of those things that makes waking up worthwhile. :))))))) Like you, I have my morning breakfast routines. Most days I’m up really early, and I treat myself to a fresh smoothie – frozen blueberries, strawberries, bananas, vanilla yogurt, spinach with the occasional dollop of peanut butter!). Somedays I revert back to my childhood and enjoy […]
So, who doesn’t like a good chocolate chip cookie? :))) By now you know I’m a foodie. So many great flavors, dishes and treats are on my list. Maybe it’s the “kid” in me, but near the top of my list is … cookies. It’s not that I have to have them after every meal, but a […]

I love it when the kids and grandkids come over, filled with excitement and fun. We decorated the house, ate fun food and hung out in front […]

One of my favorites is grapefruit. There’s something special about “winter” grapefruit – cold, […]
Contemplation. Itrospection. Pondering. This is a really good time to reflect. In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of bigger and better things. Society often encourages us to set ambitious goals, reach for the stars, and constantly strive to become better. While these are […]
Doing research has been getting faster and faster and faster. Now, with the push of a button, answers are coming back in a single second, to the people researching daunting topics like the universe, neuroscience, aerospace, cancer, drugs, clean fusion and more. That’s faster than I can type the letter ”K”. :)))))))) Depending how old you are, […]
It’s all about love, friends and family. With all the “dashing” we’re doing these days, it’s good to pause and reflect on some of the more commonly observed holiday traditions. History has always fascinated me. My blog today lands on the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, a celebration that commemorates the rededication of the Second […]
