Farewell Braverman Family Farewell

Thursday night I’m gonna say goodbye once and for all to the Bravemans.  I know it seems silly but I’m choked up just reading back that sentence.  Saying goodbye.  Once and for all.  The Bravermans.  Gulp.  It’ll be a miracle if my computer doesn’t short out by the time this blog entry is completed due … Continued

No Gifts Please.

She specifically said, “NO GIFTS PLEASE.”  Actually, she was adamant about no gifts. I know this because SHE TOLD ME SO which is why I worded it that way in the group text I sent to a dozen and a half girls inviting them to a birthday dinner celebrating our friend.

It's The ADULTS Who Put The BAR In Mitzvah!

Save Some. Spend Some. Give Some To Charity.

As a kid, my Dad had a bunch of mantras he’d repeatedly drill into my head. “Don’t Bullshit A Bullishitter” was one of my favs.   “It Is Nowwwww Bedtime” was one of my least favs! I still have yet another one of the (in)famous Silver catchphrases that he wrote a million years ago on his business card and … Continued
