I haven’t posted very much lately, particularly after the elections. It’s coming back, there have just been some distractions as of late. No, I haven’t been enjoying the beautiful summer weather – well OK, Saturday I did spend the day on the beach in Asbury Park – but in general, my lapse is due to…

Some interesting life changes are afoot, so I wasn’t able to blog too much in the past week or so. I still have been out and about, though, and here are some photos.

No one likes executive sessions.

The past seven months It seems as if Jerry Green has been off recently. Your guess as to why is as good as mine. Perhaps it is the increasing strong challenges to his power. Maybe he’s just losing it. Whatever the case, there have been a surprising number of public incidents involving the Assemblyman over the…
