Phishing Is Not Phunny

This is just a few words on Phishing which is people trying to scam you on line, and how to deal with it. For example, I received an email telling me that my Sirius XM subscription has expired and if I click below, I can extend it for 3 months free. First of all, my […]

Edgewater, NJ: Shopping by the Shoreline with a Glimpse of NYC

Edgewater New Jersey, is the Bergen County borough bordering  Hudson County. It has a completely different vibe than most of Bergen County’s more bucolic, and quiet Villages. River Road is the main thoroughfare and basically it is where you go to shop, to eat and maybe, if you have the time, take a walk on the […]

Learning a Foreign Language

Years ago, more years ago than I care to mention, my wife and I with two sons ages 8 and 6 moved to Italy to live, specifically to Milan in the industrial north. I was offered a job to work for an Italian engineering company which was looking for an American manager for their infant […]

Dangerous Advertising

Once upon a time in 1953 there was a book, there still is, called The Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard. It introduced the reader to the psychological approach to advertising. It described the customer’s needs that advertising aimed at to sell products. In the 70 years since, this psychological and subliminal approach to advertising, compounded […]

Locating Old Friends

One of the tragedies of growing old is that you lose friends. I guess it’s either them or me. Sure there are new friends. Life goes on. But the old friends are linked with memories you don’t have with the new ones. I recently lost my closest friend of some 70 years and I miss […]
