Over twenty years ago, First Lady Nancy Reagan (and God Bless Ronnie who will always be My President), re-opened the crown of the Statue of Liberty on its 100th birthday. Today is another momentous day in the history of Lady Liberty, New York City and the Nation. After 9/11, the crown was closed due to fear of terrorist actions. Today the crown re-opens. Let Freedom Ring! I have to confess that every time I see Lady Liberty, I get choked up. My family didn’t come through Ellis Island... Read Full Story

I love Philadelphia. Went to school on the Main Line and now have been visiting pretty regularly. There are so many interesting and fun things to do. Historical things like Constitution Hall and the Liberty Bell. Educational things like the Art Museum and Franklin Institute. Funky things like South Street and creepy things like the Mutter Museum. Tasty things like Pat’s Cheesesteaks and the Italian Market. Loving Philly so much, I knew it was time to pay it homage in a novel and s... Read Full Story

I was in Costco last weekend and came across Jose Cuervo Strawberry Margarita mix. Yum. The only thing tastier is a mango margarita, but I’m not sure that flavor is popular enough to merit a mix. But, I love strawberry margaritas and even better - It’s delicious as just a smoothie! Add a banana or some other fresh fruit or even some fruit sorbet to kick your smoothie up a notch. I haven’t tried adding a low fat yogurt or ice cream for a creamy smoothie, but I think I̵... Read Full Story

I love David Wright. Love his work ethic and dedication to the sport. Love baseball. Come the summer time, everyone in the family sits down to watch the games almost every night. We also head to the local minor league/independent league ball clubs during the summer. Mostly to the Bridgewater Patriots. I love baseball so much I even did two books way back when for Kensington. They never got published, but I’m hoping they’ll see the light of day in the future. Back to David. ... Read Full Story

As a writer and then an attorney, I’ve learned the power of words. If I want you to think someone is smart, I’ll call a change in opinion a “tactical shift.” If I want you to think someone is stupid, I’ll call it a “flip-flop.” As an attorney and writer, it’s my job to pick the words that are best suited for painting the picture I wish for the reader to see. Not so if I were a journalist. As a journalist, my job is to impart an objective and ne... Read Full Story

So I’ve been wondering who beat out Zac Efron (one of my too young guilty pleasures) for the lead role in the remake of FOOTLOOSE. Turns out the lead will be played by GOSSIP GIRL actor Chace Crawford. I had heard the buzz about Chace and checked him out and wow! Here he is today as this Monday’s Guilty Pleasure. Chace is a such a cutie. No wonder PEOPLE magazine picked him as one of the hottest bachelors. I may just have to give GOSSIP GIRL a try. On another note, thanks to a... Read Full Story
