Dear Laskerites, I am interested in joining your club. Is there a form? A handshake? Do I need to “rush?” I am very good at all of those things. I will complete all of the above and more. Just tell me, I’ll do it. I want in. I have to admit I never knew you […]

Mental note: Do NOT watch the Handmaid’s Tale. I don’t care if you think you are ready to dive back into “regular” scheduled programming, this show is OFF limits. Keep it light. Bachelor in Paradise and 90210 it is. And ONLY. No need to go farther right now. This goes for you too, moms in […]

It’s the first day of school.  I love the first day of school. Like LOVE. It is a day full of excitement and fear. Often when those things come together, you know something special is about to happen.  It is a day when community is built. A bunch of kids are thrown into a room […]

Yesterday was a hard day, but there she was. Another “chance” run in last night on my way to class.  Another “coincidence.” I hadn’t seen her in 15 years.  She is an important one. She played a major role in the woman I am today. She helped raise me. She treated me like a daughter […]

Our neighbor just passed, a child.  I don’t know the child. I never met this family before. All I know from the shuffling outside and the tears is that they are Jewish as I hear Hebrew. I just want to hide. I’m hungry, but I can’t leave the room. I can’t see them. I can’t […]

I wish I could say I did better.  I did not do better.  One would think this would be an easy task. All I need to do is sleep. Just sleep. How hard could that be? Lay. Close eyes. Sleep. The nursing team does everything. I have zero tasks, but once alone in the hospital…I […]

I feel like someone hijacked my life. Just took it. Took my children. Took my clothes. Took my house. And unlike most people, I LIVED and LOVED my life. I was thankful and grateful everyday. Honestly. I would wake up and just be thankful for my life so this was definitely not a lesson I […]

We are back in the hospital. Nothing else to report.

Benno learned something today. 90% of startups fail, BUT not when you predict the failure first and pivot your strategy! Benno has quickly learned that Rescue 1 Plus gets more telemarketing calls (which he oddly loves) than clients. He almost didn’t have enough money to pay his phone bill to keep the business going! He […]

This need to SEE is something I’m trying to break out of. A true New Yorker, I don’t give anything the benefit of the doubt. You will need to prove to me that something works and that often means showing me with my eyes. I tend to trust that sense the most. I don’t think […]
