Bon Voyage 2012

When was the last time you were able to stick to your list of New Year resolutions, without fail for an entire year? 

      My thinking exactly!  So this time around I am going to go about it differently.

I’m going to go nice and easy on myself, and not do any of that black and white- all or nothing thinking. 

If I miss a day or two (or fifty) it really doesn't mean that I can’t eventually get back on track.  I haven’t failed the mission.  I have another chance!  The only thing that is holding me down from moving forward is me! 

My New Year Resolutions for 2013:  (extra long so that maybe one will stick)

To Do: Grocery Shopping Online

Kosher Grocery shopping in Brooklyn is no picnic.  If you must bring your kids along, deal with crazy parking issues, or have absolutely no more energy at the end of a long busy day, then let me introduce you to a new quality of life that is-online grocery shopping !

Spring Fling

What is it about shoes dangling high above my head, flung casually over power lines that makes me wonder and wonder…
Firstly, how did they get there, and how come I can never catch these guys in the act? How many tries does it take to make a perfect landing, and is it technically legal to dispose of your personal affects in this manner?
Also, what exactly happened to the guy who was wearing those shoes? Was he some unfortunate victim of the mafia or of some vicious street gang, who before meeting his untimely death had his shoes removed , shoelaces methodically tied together and then flung up there as a cryptic way of warning others “don’t mess, or this is what will happen to you.”
