Happy Halloween!! I had the pleasure of pre-celebrating Halloween yesterday by facilitating a drum circle for "Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands" programing through the Parker Jewish Institute for caregivers and populations navigating Alzheimer's and dementia. We enjoyed some sweet treats and great beats!We even played a drumming zombie game in honor of Halloween! This game was inspired by Rhythm2Recovery where we had one person (me, haha) stand in the center of the drum circle and slowly move like zombie toward other drummers who are playing, lol! The way for drummers to not become zombified was by sharing one interesting unknown fact about themselves with the group. From this interaction we learned that a couple who was drumming with us has been married for 61 years!! We also found out, b... 10/31/2024

P.G.A. Bethpage Black Since the 2019 Championship is on Long Island this week, I am reprising a blogpost from 2011.            In some parts of the country, golf is played all year round. New York also has courses that are open everyday, but in truth, the season really begins April 1st and ends about October 31st.  At the very least, you hope for ground that has defrosted and enough warmth to shed the layers that will limit your range of motion as you practice that golf full swing.  There are about one hundred and twenty-five different courses available here on Long Island; some are private or semi-private and about half are public. Bethpage State Park Golf Course is a public course situated right here in Nassau County, L.I. It is rich in history and was home to the U.S. Open of 2002 (w... 05/16/2019

 Zorn's has called Bethpage, NY home since 1940 and has moved next door from its original location. The new location has an obvious refreshed look and energy, while still maintaining the same great manner of hospitality, service and amazingly fresh ingredients and meals. I have to say, seeing the old Zorn's location prepared for demolition tugs at my heart a bit. Yet, as with all things in life, nothing stays the same, except for the integrity of spirit. I was happy to see the old Zorn's sign placed along the side of the new building. I see this as a token to honor past successes and welcome in many more! Zorn's Bethpage Offical Website4321 Hempstead Turnpike, Bethpage, NY 11714(516) 731-5500 05/10/2019

It's rare that I write posts about politics because it really does not contribute to anything positive unless the News is positive. This type of reporting tends to just stir up more anxiety, worry, confusion and anger in the collective consciousness of this world. Many Long Islanders know the rally for Mr. Trump will be taking place at the Bethpage Grumman Studios at 7pm tonight April 6th, 2016. Unfortunately, his rallies of past have developed the reputation of creating unpredictable situations and at times ones that could become violent physically and emotionally.It's great to voice your opinion and express yourself, yet if you are choosing to purposely degrade, use vulgar words and be physically aggressive, you need to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself, If I attend this rall... 04/05/2016

I am often asked things I cannot answer at a home inspection, and sometimes look to the seller for a receipt or other proof of work performed on a house that I am inspecting for a prospective buyer. Major, expensive things like a roof, oil tank abandonment, a new cesspool, a new paving stone stoop, etc.  I receive a no answer a lot of the time. This means there is no receipt and this major expence was likely not performed by a professional. In the case of a roof, it would be nice to have the receipt for the buyer so they know when it was installed, and in case of warranty issues. But alas, the seller has no document of the roof job. In the case of oil tank abandnment, I have been told by sellers the tank was abandoned years ago, and was done properly. But when I ask the seller for proof... 05/05/2014
