Safe travels, stay safe and other phrases are are part of our vernacular in today’s dangerous America.

Have you noticed how we casually toss out "Be safe" every day? If someone's off to work, school, or just running errands, it's like a reflex. I guess it makes sense—safety feels more precious now than ever.

A black moon refers to the occurrence of two new moons within a single month.
The lunar cycle of a new moon is approximately 29.5 days, which means that, on a rare occasion, it can happen twice in a single month. Hence, the black moon is the extra new moon in a cycle.

PAY ATTENTION

I recently received a response from a colleague that stated they did not know what my email message was all about.

My response was for him to read the Subject line and it would immensely become clear as a bell.

Pure as the sound of a bell; also, readily understood. For example, Did you understand the message I left you? —Yes, clear as a bell . This simile, which alludes to the bell's clarity owing to lack of overtones, was already a proverb in John Ray's English Proverbs (1670).

RIP CHUCK DOLAN

Chuck Dolan was not only an exceptional man, he was possibly the the oldest and richest Irishman and media mogul in America.

Dolan hired me to build and launch New York City. News 12 The Bronx, which he agreed would reflect the community we were built to serve. He was a good man. I wish I could say the same about his offspring.

He was 98-years-old and the founding father of HBO, owned Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and a couple New York Sports franchises.

Is there a word for the days between Christmas and New Year?

Before purchasing a home, we must make sure to have the most experienced and ethical realtor on our side and working only for us.

As I search for another home, so our space can be repaired, I have learned one thing… The company we chose to help us find our new place is crucial and if not careful, we will regret it for the duration of our lifetime.
