Who’s the Boss?
One of my high-school classmates won the “Nanny of the Month” award from ReasonTV. Eastchester Town Supervisor Anthony S. Colavita has banned “fast casual” restaurants like Panera Bread and Chipotle. The town board had already banned fast food restaurants like … Continue reading
Over Underdog
Buck Biggers’ obituary taught me more about one of my favorite shows than I had ever known before. Biggers co-created the classic cartoon “Underdog.” His passing also prompted a cartoon-themed website to repost their interview with Biggers. Biggers and his colleagues worked … Continue reading
Koch Sighting
For the past two days I’ve been trying to recall which of my high school friends dragged me to a Joan Baez concert in Central Park. I wouldn’t consider myself a fan of her music. In fact, I had forgotten that … Continue reading
The Westchester Wing
Andrew P. O’Rourke died on Thursday night. He was a good friend of my father during the 1960s and ’70s. In fact, my father wrote the slogan for O’Rourke’s first campaign for Yonkers City Council: “He Flew the Frontiers of … Continue reading

Trix may be for kids but Lucky Charms are for grown-ups? A new marketing campaign for one of my favorite cereals targets adults like me who loved Lucky Charms as kids. One woman even had a Lucky Charms baby shower. Lucky … Continue reading

I Wanna Tell Ya
As a lifelong fan of Bob Hope, I really enjoyed the “Hope for America” exhibit at the Library of Congress. My son and I toured the Library after our Capitol tour two weeks ago. When I was a kid in … Continue reading
Rest in Tranquility
One of the posters on my childhood bedroom wall was a souvenir from my family’s visit to Cape Kennedy in 1969. The poster had photos from the Mercury and Gemini programs and an artist’s conception of what the Apollo moon … Continue reading
Gymnos Where His Towel Is
Watching the Olympics brings back some memories of a weekly exercise program at the New York Athletic Club. My father was a member of the NYAC. In the summer, our whole family would go to the salt-water pool at Travers … Continue reading
A Priceless Introduction to the Classics
Amazon.com offered another freebie yesterday. When I saw their Facebook post about a $3 credit for MP3 purchases, I immediately clicked on it before it was too late. It’s worth liking them on Facebook or following them on Twitter because … Continue reading
Caring, Sharing
What kind of impression did you make as a kid? I had reason to think about my own childhood when I received a very nice email from an important person from my past. She thought I would grow up to … Continue reading
If You’re Not Having Fun, You’re Doing Something Wrong
The problem with surprises is that you don’t see them coming. In hindsight, I wish I had recorded my Skype conversation with my kids on Father’s Day. As is our family tradition, they sang the Father’s Day song that I … Continue reading
Long Ago and Far Away
The class of 1962 was honored at my son’s graduation ceremony last week. Another, much smaller reunion occurred after the pomp and circumstance. A grammar school classmate of mine was also in the audience to see her son graduate. We … Continue reading
