We were passing through the Catskills during the 4th weekend and we stopped at the Liberty NY museum.Tummler was a full-on regular job at these resorts and it helped launch the career of many great performers including Mel Brooks, Sid Ceasar and Joey Adams.

The people who stayed at these resorts were immigrants or children of immigrants and this was their time out of the city to spend some time in a pool, eat some good food they didn’t have to cook themselves and socialize. People often went back at the same time every year and community and participation was a big part of the experience.

Lower costs of more exotic consumer vacation destinations like the Caribbean led to the closing of these resorts but they led to a loss of connection and community.

We all need chorus practice. Every day. It is natural to move and you do it before the world around you tells you to stop.

“This is the position in which social conservatives find themselves: they don’t want to think of themselves (or have others think of them) as bigots, but the only arguments they can offer against marriage equality sound a lot like simple prejudice. They’ve changed a lot on the issue of gay rights — they’re more accepting, understanding, and generous than they once were — but they haven’t yet crossed the marriage line. “

If you paid a whole bunch of money to be employable, wouldn’t you start expecting employment? Law schools are trying to do what they can to keep up the promise of the thing they sell most often: perceived salary security.

“It’s deceiving, the hospitality American come across with …there are so many lines drawn in that country. And they think their way is the best way…”My way or the highway….”the whole patting themselves on the back.”

When are Americans genuinely friendliest?
