My Two Joes

My Two Joes is a tribute to our heroic veterans. What I learned from the two Joes is you can’t always remove yourself from scary situations. No doubt about it, right now there is a heightened level of fear and anger in America. It is as if people are losing their heads. When adrenaline increases, you witness more flight or fight reactions.  Fear that manifests in small ways develops into paralysis: email goes unanswered, phone calls are not returned and business transactions are delayed. Fear churning into anger rears its ugly head in drive-by shootings, road rage, mass killings and hate crimes. It’s okay to admit the truth: we are living in scary times.


My Wild Horse

My white horse was galloping on a beach the first time I saw her. I have been told that very few horses are truly white. Most horses that appear to be white are actually light grey. The girl who rode on the horse was blonde. Her long hair blew behind her back like silver streamers. The girl was running away from the uncertainty of trouble at home. She rode fast along the beach. The white horse would bring her to freedom.


Thoreau the Meter Transcendental Treks on the Noir Shift

In “Thoreau the Meter: Transcendental Treks on the Noir Shift,” Joseph Ferguson writes about journeys on the road, albeit road trips, that weave in and out of Yonkers as though this city is a roundabout located on Main Street in the midst of America. Two parts Charles Bukowski (without over-the-top descriptions of bodily functions ) and one part Jack Kerouac (the journey takes us everywhere and nowhere).


Patricia Vaccarino writes book reviews for love or money

I am swamped with book review requests from authors, publishers and publicists. I know how hard it is for authors to get quality book reviews, and I also know that traditional book reviewers will not review anything other than the “big books.” I am happy to write a book review, but my time is important to me.


The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton's ghosts are borne of highbrow fear, a form of intellectual mania that is never truly terrifying but fodder to ponder life’s greater truths. 


Book Review: I know why the caged bird sings

Ms. Angelou does much more than spin a yarn about the early years of her life. Great suffering and terrible injustice is elevated to the highest level of art and beauty. Ms. Angelou’s voice, so pure and so clear, feels stylistically as a story told in the oral tradition and not a mere book.


AUGUST 2022 THE CONNECTOR MAGAZINE

In August we celebrate entrepreneurs from all industries and sectors. We also look at the important role networking plays in producing successful business outcomes. 


Dave Bresler | The Ultimate Connector

When Dave Bresler steps into the room, businesspeople from every profession and industry gather around him. He holds people’s attention with the same reverence that used to be accorded to priests, rabbis, and pundits. Seeing Dave Bresler in action for the first time, you might wonder if he’s one of New York City’s legendary power brokers. Bresler is not a pundit or a power broker, and he’s certainly not a priest or a rabbi. But he is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. 


Dave Bresler gives us a few helpful networking tips

There are a fair number of people, especially the ones who have stayed over the years, who have done some significant business from the relationships they had made.
