Sherry, Ali and I have had an active week in NYC. We started in Flushing for Asian barbecue and some reminiscing. Then into Manhattan, celebrating Father’s day with a unique round of miniature golf, the opening of the newly restored Frick museum and some tasty Columbian food. Read on! Flushing for Ali’s Birthday Sherry and
Sherry and I traveled to the San Francisco Bay area to attend the wedding of the daughter our friends Belinda & Peter. Through the weekend event, we also got to meet many of their friends and relatives and connect with a few of our own. Read on. Getting There via TWA Hotel This Californian adventure
Sherry and I took time off from a recent trip to San Francisco to make the three hour trek east to Yosemite National Park. Our daughter Ali had recommended it as one of her favorite places, and after spending just a couple of days there, we both agree. It is one of the most beautiful
Origins When I was a bachelor, in the busiest part of my dating scene, I lived in an apartment building in Briarwood Queens and met good friends Belinda and Peter there. Almost instantly Peter became my best buddy and we’d do everything together. Skiing, camping, softball, woodworking and dozens of other activities we loved to
Sherry and I just came back from an action-packed weekend full of celebrations. We started with a trip up to Saratoga Springs to celebrate Norm’s 85th and Yona’s first birthdays.

While Sherry and I were in Morocco, our group participated in a caravan of Dromedary. In case you are wondering what the difference is, a dromedary is a camel with only one hump, also known as an Arabian Camel. Although I have taken a very short camel ride in the past, this was totally different.
Sherry and I recently returned from a trip to Morocco with WJC (our synagogue). It was simply an incredible experience and while it represented seven locations and thousands of miles, I am treating it as just two adventures (the trip itself #8 and the Dromedary ride #9). I’ll use this column to share two of
While the four of us were in Key West, Ali and Cam suggested we stop in a Karaoke bar after dinner on our first night. Both of the girls have participated in the past and enjoy performing. Ali in particular goes out with friends – and seems to take pleasure both in singing and hearing
