• The Character Of Chaos

  We’ve had the indescribable joy of watching six of our grands for most of this week. Each has a schedule of “must do’s”, activities that require transportation, and unique preferences for food and free time.  The three oldest have an independent spirit I deeply appreciate.

• When Two Opposing Forces Equal Fun

    She was a Jewish girl raised in Brooklyn. He was an Italian Catholic boy raised in Queens. Both grew to love opera, teaching, traveling, and souvenir shopping. They were opposite ends on the political spectrum. But they were the best of friends. Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Antonin Scalia, both Supreme Court justices, enjoyed a…
