With the good fortune of recently being hired by a well-known company to work at their corporate offices in NYC downtown, I’ve been re-introduced to a form of transportation used by thousands daily. The NYC Subway. I’ve commuted to NYC for most of my 30+ years in the workforce; this is the first time that it’s been necessary for… Read more »
There’s an old saying which is that “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Those that know this author well know that I’ve always been a chowhound; but that label and the above statement have been even truer for me over the last several weeks. I’ve recently started working for a large global company based in downtown… Read more »
They say most blogs are disguised personal therapy….if that’s so, then I’m happy to have this blog to carry me through a recent big life change! Well, you knew it had to happen.

Since Wally has been otherwise distracted and can’t seem to find the inspiration to write, I thought I’d get my paws on the keyboard and share with you a real life changing event for me in the last few days.
