Tuesday, July 28th, 2009Twitter is Spammer’s Delight
I love Twitter. It’s a fast and easy way to communicate with a lot of people. I’ve enjoyed watching Twitter develop and I enjoy watching the dynamics of life repeat themselves online.
First, Twitter is a Spammer’s Delight. About 90% of the people who use Twitter have a business and are using twitter as a way […]

Our House is Empty & Waiting
So the house we are buying in Bay Ridge is empty and waiting for us to move in. How do I know? I went to the house and looked in the window. I wanted to see if the sellers were ready to leave. Besides the curtains, there was four empty walls and a shiny floor. I […]
Monday, July 20th, 2009Markowitz Taking on the Important Issues in Brooklyn
I am all for a powerful local government. One that takes care of the people and the place they live in. So when I see local news reporting on the Brooklyn Borough President, Marty Markowitz taking on the issue of Brooklynites drinking on their front stoops, I can only ask WHY? Surely there must be […]
Sunday, July 19th, 2009Mom Bloggers, Choose Your Battles Wisely

C’MON MOMS - YOU KNOW BETTER! There is no need for you to cry foul or pretend like you […]

Shopping for furniture!
Lee & I are going to NJ tomorrow to shop for furniture. I wish I could say that this is going to be a fun task to do together, but it’s more a task about me compromising.
We have similiar and different taste in style, design and fashion. We both love the 40’s. Lee also likes […]
Brooklyn is Being Sold Right Out from Under Our Feet
I am buying a home in Brooklyn because I love Brooklyn. Seriously, I do. It’s an easy place to fall in love with and everything is at the tip of my fingers.I am ticked off this morning. I am sick of elected officials who collect a paycheck sitting by and selling out Brooklyn. If you […]
Monday, July 6th, 2009Willoughby Windows - Sign of the Times
Remember years ago when abandoned buildings had fake windows with plants and people sitting in the window? That was done so the neighborhood didn’t look abandoned. Well, Willoughby Windows is the 2009 version for covering up the mess that is now Downtown Brooklyn.
Metrotech Bid aren’t you glad that people like Joe Chan, Marty Markowitz and […]
Willoughby Windows
In true Brooklyn style, someone had to speak up and tell the truth.
I think this is the real art that exists from the Willoughby Windows
Corporate greed and political smoozing is what brought down Downtown Brooklyn.
I bet Willoughby Windows didn’t plan on their art having so many contributors to it’s work.
This my friends was an incredible bagel […]
Summer!
For a teacher, summer is the ultimate time to relax and have fun!
Waking up late and staying up until sunrise is part of my normal routine. My friends used to call me Sunday Sunrise because each Sunday I’d sit on the front stoop (or in a chair in my bedroom) with a coffee and stare at the sunrise.
But this […]
