The events of the past week or so have made some things clear, I think. There really are two different kinds of worlds … well, perhaps more accurately, in this Internet Age, there are many little worlds that we can inhabit. And your state of mind really does get impacted by the one in which […]
The basketball season is (finally?) over, and summer is officially here. For a “winter” sport, the NBA sure does hold on for a while … but that Finals series sure was one for the ages, and what an emotional end for Lebron James and the city of Cleveland. Many congratulations to them … and now […]
I appreciate the need for all of us to debate about where our local and national policies should be focused. As a tax professional, political decisions affect my work, and I do pay close attention. But in the wake of the shootings in Orlando, and the seemingly-immediate political outcry on all sides, I couldn’t help […]
First off, a quick reminder that estimated taxes for the second quarter are due June 15th. This one always feels as if it came a little quick (2 months instead of the normal 3), so if this applies to you, you’ll want to make sure you have that all set up in time. Secondly (and […]
How was your long weekend? Nice to have that kind of family time, yes? And, of course, it’s sobering to remember the sacrifice made by so many of our metro NY area veterans (and those outside the metro NY area as well, of course!). It can be tempting for us to take a look around […]

There is more than one election in our future. Yes, many are already tired of the presidential electioneering (though, I must say, if it weren’t for the fact that the next four years of our national direction were at stake, it would be much more entertaining than elections past!). But for many of us, whether […]
As we move into the fullness of spring here in metro NY, the nation seems to be holding its collective breath (and getting the popcorn ready) for what will prove to be a fascinating election cycle. I don’t presume to have any foresight into the matter, butwhat I can confidently predict over the next year […]
Ah, sweet May. I love it. The birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming. Once the weather begins to get warmer, you see people start thinking about summer and, of course, they want to lose weight to look good in their bathing suits. Why do so many wait until it gets warmer until they […]
By that subject line you might think that I’m referring to myself! After all, with the tax deadline behind us, I know that some friends of mine have asked if I just “kick back” and put my feet up by the pool the rest of the year. Actually, no. Not only do I LOVE what […]
