Can’t believe another Halloween is here and almost gone. I think back to how excited I was growing up in the early 70’s and walking around my neighborhood in Great Neck, eagerly anticipating the pillow case of candy I was about to receive.

We do have some bright spots.
My 13 year old son Christopher is on the South Ocean middle school football team and yesterday for the first time I was able to catch a scrimmage between South Ocean & Bellport. I can’t believe how much fun I had as a spectator! Read the rest of this entry »
Why within a mile in a half radius do I find up to a 20 cent difference in a gallon of gas? I’m a reasonable guy, 2-3 cents is understandable but 20 cents? Who’s watching out for me? Read the rest of this entry »
Yesterday the Summer of 08 quietly slipped away, and while most of us big kids agree that another Summer flew by way too fast, I really look forward to one of the prettiest times on this Island of ours. Fall on Long Island.. Read the rest of this entry »
So here I am sitting at my desk this morning wondering what happened to the Summer of 08? When I was younger the days of Summer seemed endless but the older I become the faster life goes. Read the rest of this entry »
