Mah Jong Memory

I remember mah jong through a haze of memory and my mother’s Benson & Hedges cigarette smoke.

Colonial Day Along The Gold Coast

Do you know about colonial day? At Nathan Hale One Regret Elementary School, where our son Oliver attends fifth grade, it’s a BIG production in which the school gym is transformed into a kind of Colonial America mall. Students research life as a particular colonial artisan and collect props and design shop signs to create their “storefront” in a refrigerator box. Colonial Day teaches students how to work as a team, hone their public speaking skills and spend money.

Midtown In Motion

THINKING ABOUT A PIED À TERRE? HERE’S A TIP: THE IROQUOIS NEW YORK is like having your own exclusive residence. Its elite address: W. 44th between 5th and 6th, is shared with the tony Harvard and New York Yacht Clubs. The Iroquois is a small, sophisticated hotel, a stark contrast from the new chain hotels framing the theatre district. As you sip your morning coffee reading the New York Times from the hotel’s petite ‘New York Library’ you’re a relaxed observer of midtown in motion.

And where is that damned cell phone? Are you one of the worried well? Many of us are anxious to live a long life, but fearful of our potential for the humiliation and debilitation of dementia. What to do? Should you try a computer game? Magnesium tablets? A week at an expensive brain training center? Brain fitness is the new buzzword and wealthy aging baby boomers are eager to buy a healthier brain.

A Medal Of Honor For Sargent William Shemin…a Century Long Odyssey

On August 7th, 1918, on the Western Front, the Allies were hunkered down in one trench, the Germans in another, separated by about 150 yards of open space – just a football field and a half.  But that open space was a bloodbath.
