another this and that

 So the Ducks lost...congrats to the Lexington Legends on becoming Atlantic League champs. Sigh.  At least they kept it interesting until the very end. Sigh.  There's always next year.

It sounds like law enforcement may have found Brian Laundrie.  Or rather, his remains.  Maybe now Gabby can rest in peace.

The weather has definitely changed.  It is really starting to feel like autumn.  I've seen some color in the trees, too.

Today I had to sit through the annual "don't harass your coworkers" training.  You'd think, with all the training corporations give on the topic, that there wouldn't be a lot of inappropriate conduct in the workplace.  But you'd be wrong...

A good chunk of my time is spent defending employers against harassment complaints.  Sigh.

I think I'll go for a walk and get some fresh air...

    Oh yes, the harassment training. They make us do it, too. Usually before the school year begins, though. Sorry your Ducks lost.

      I’ve got a few harassment cases on my desk right now, it’s crazy. The principal who harassed the teacher. The teacher who harassed another teacher. The custodian who tried to assault a teacher.

    We had our training last week, sigh. It made me think of Andrew Cuomo..OK not getting political here. It sure does feel like fall. If it's sunny (rarer and rarer), the feel of the sun is so weak. The corn is gone from the farmstands, RIP. Soon, the farmstands will be gone.

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
