Summer 2016 Updated List Here Yesterday brought beautiful weather and everyone was out walking around on the Avenue. I ran into old students and their parents and a common question was: Where can I find a job this summer? I spent my summers as a teen in Long Island and finding a job there […]

Ice Melt in Bay Ridge – Snows Coming
People keep calling me and ask: “Where can I get ice melt in Bay Ridge?” I am writing it here because I don’t want you to wake me tomorrow to ask where to get rock salt. By the way there is a difference between rock salt and ice melt and if you are a […]
Saturday, March 1st, 2014LIfe Insurance Policy
Occasionally I write things in my blog to record times when people loved me well. So I received a life insurance beneficiary paper today. Someone took out a life insurance policy for me – just me – pretty cool right? The person has been deceased for a few years and it took the company […]
Friday, February 21st, 2014Student’s E-mail
I opened my e-mail to receive the sweetest e-mail from a student I no longer teach. Of course, there is no better blessing for a computer teacher than to have time to surf the web! The future is very bright because these children will be the people who lead the world with kindness and thought. […]
Friday, February 21st, 2014Why I Switched My Political Party
When I originally registered to vote at age 18, my Mom guided me to register as a Democrat. She told me it will allow me to vote in primary elections here in Brooklyn. Over the years, I realized that I am neither a Democrat or a Republican and that I just want to vote […]
Thursday, February 20th, 2014Evicting Birds
Beautiful Mourning Doves lived in our Blue Spruce tree for four years. I loved hearing them sing and watching them nest outside of our window. This year, I noticed that they multiplied a lot and were pooping all over the place. Besides the nasty secretions, the sound of 30-40 birds ruffling their feathers as we […]
Thursday, February 20th, 2014Juniors Restaurant in Downtown Brooklyn is Closing
The original Juniors Restaurant in Brooklyn is closing because the area is hot, hot, hot! They have valued the p0roperty at 45 – 55 MILLION DOLLARS! Most of the downtown area near Albee Square was rezoned and developers can build up like 20+ stories so it makes sense that the building was purchased for condos. […]
Monday, February 17th, 2014Valentines Day
I am not a big fan of Valentine’s Day because I feel like every year I need to top last years gift and I always seem to be out of ideas for presents. This year I made some great things on pinterest that Lee loved! Go Pinterest! Lee brought me a new computer with Windows […]

February 16, 2012 – My brother, Phil died. It was the worst day of my life. It was a Friday and the first day of Winter Vacation. I heard Phil died and the rest of the day went in one weird, surreal slow motion…..and the days and months that followed weren’t too good either. The […]

Friday, January 17th, 2014People Who Write Stupid Things Remind Me How Lucky I Am
Today someone congratulated a new store owner on Facebook. They posted pictures of the new store in the community and everyone was so happy. And they should be happy because owning your own business is fulfilling a dream that many people have. Then an arrogant, racist man posted a comment. I was shocked by the […]
