Keeping Up With Facebook

15 January 2008

I refuse to admit that facebook is getting the better of me. Even when I should be updating my own blog I STILL update my FB account. Its just I KNOW that my 339 friends will mostly see my FB update but won’t go to my blog. Um - so this is a call out […]

Hanukkah and Work

6 December 2007

There is always a balance between working and playing and tonight I am literally in the thick of it. On the one hand, I have a TREMENDOUS amount of work that I needed to do last week but I have the trade show at the NY Xpo. The week before that was Thanksgiving and the week […]

The Suburbs and the City

3 December 2007

Living in New York City, Boston and Jerusalem over the past 20 years has influenced the way I view the world and how I work. Commuting from Queens into Manhattan was annoying since I was in a 2 fare zone and it took me over and hour to get to work. When I moved in the […]

Every year we try to come up to the berkshires to be with family for thanksgiving and so far our record is 100% It’s a beautiful area with amazing foliage and quiet except for the hunters who scared the shit out of us when we went on a walk 8 years ago. And now that […]

Hanukkah Menorah Lighting

24 December 2006

What a riot! Chabad picks my building as a great place for people to meet and light. They had a Chabad mobile parked outside and this huge 5 foot high menorah. So funny next to the christmas tree in our building. I will never forget it. It was really great. All of the Israelis got […]
