Watching the first episode of Season 4, I’m thrilled that “Succession” is back, but I’m also pleased that the creators decided to end the series after this season. Too many shows hang around too long (yes, I’m referring to “Billions”). As we gear up for another season of epic battles among the various Roy family members, we know the ride this season will be fun, but there’s only so many ways we can tell this story. There has to be a resolution, or this show will become a caricature of itself (again, see “Billions”). In the first episode, we have…

But falling in love is only the first step in deciding whether you should marry this person.

It had been a while since a spent some time in New York City. And many of my trips over the past ten years gave me little time to explore the city. So I was quite blown away on a recent trip to see Hudson Yards project. The project is simply massive. The Eastern Yard portion of the project was completed in 2019 after seven years of construction. It’s located between 10th and 11th Avenues and 30th and 33rd Streets, consisting of six skyscrapers, a shopping mall, and a cultural center. Work on the Western Yard portion of the project…
Fort Lauderdale is paradise in the winter months. Just take a look at the sunrise shot below taken by the beach. So naturally January is great time for events on the beach, and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend the Seaglass Rosé Experience last Friday night. The three-day event takes place in tents set up right on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, and it’s basically a fun wine-tasting party with amazing wines from all over the world, along with beautiful guests who dress up and drink wine all evening, along with some delicious finger food. The wine…

“Seven” is horrifying, but it’s not a horror film. It will leave you stunned and numb at the end. This crime thriller is brilliant, and it helps to kick-start David Fincher’s career as one of the most skilled and accomplished directors of our time. The movie is incredibly dark, and it will likely leave a lasting effect on you. It certainly did for me. Memories are seared into our brains when experiences are coupled with intense emotions, and this film elicits those emotions. Two detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who chooses his victims according to…
