Home on the Grange
November 5, 2012
In my last post, I mentioned the rooftop farm across the street from us. It’s worth mentioning again because it’s so incredibly resourceful. The operation is run by Brooklyn Grange and the Long Island City, Queens location is its flagship farm. Produce is harvested six floors up on top of the Standard Motor Products building, which houses the namesake … More Home on the Grange

November 4, 2012
I’m a big fan of thinking globally, acting locally but, day-ummm, this is a bit too local!

A Wrinkle in Time
August 14, 2012
I’ve always fancied myself a bit of a sleuth. In the mid-90s, during my days as a big shot banker, I collected on multi-million commercial dollar loans. To hunt down debtors, I searched all sorts of public records. The internet was still fairly new and most documents were not available online. I became somewhat obsessed with … More A Wrinkle in Time
