Pre-Thanksgiving Parade; Sunday November 22, Stamford Downtown at 12 Noon, FREE

Connie Chung and Maury Povich are Grand Marshals.  Alan Kalter from the David Letterman show is Master of Ceremonies.  It’s not on Thanksgiving, so we can’t call the UBS Parade Spectacular a Turkey Day Parade because that one’s been claimed by Macy’s in a much more difficult place to get to.

eBay Deconstructed: Saturday,November 7th at 11am, Harry Bennett Branch of the Ferguson Library, FREE

Navigating huge websites is not one of my strong suits.  As a matter of fact, I get downright jittery when my kids ask if they can post something or buy something on eBay.  ”How do you know you’re getting what you think you’re getting,” I ask, skeptically.

I’m sure I’m not alone, which is why [...]

Yoga first thing on Saturday morning?  To be candid, that was what I was thinking when I walked into Jackie Tepper’s first Temple Beth El near-dawn session many moons ago.  But all doubts fell away as I began to concentrate on the correct way to breath, then stretch and then…..bliss.  A spiritual act on a [...]
