Function, fashion and feasibility...... can you have it all? Yes you can. The real estate market here in New Jersey has become a gift to those who are ready, willing and able to take advantage of it. There is a special time in most of our lives when everything comes together to make a miracle. If

The lottery is coming, the lottery is here.... Tonight the largest Power-ball Lottery is being drawn. I don't generally buy tickets or even think about it, but this prize is so large (in excess of half a billion dollars) it is hard not to be caught in the non stop hype and eventually succumb and

Noise pollution is no joke....please give me a break. Living with neighbors is what most of us deal with: no problem, except those pesky and perplexing folks who seem to live to annoy. This would include those who mow their lawns at all times of the day or night, ignore holidays and decide to cut

A warm and wonderful day is what today is. In New Jersey, the sun is shining, the temperature is above average and the the smell of the holiday is abundant everywhere. My memories of Thanksgiving are numerous and varied. For me it has been the best day and the worst day. I remember a day in 1979
