Thanksgiving is almost here, and the air is buzzing with the promise of family, football, and, of course, a feast that requires strategic planning (and elastic waistbands!). But amidst the hustle of basting the turkey and perfecting the cranberry sauce, it's worth pausing to reflect on what this holiday is truly about: gratitude.

Life in Scarsdale, New York, has always been about new friends, good schools, and a certain quiet predictability. But the political tremors of the recent NYC mayoral election—dubbed the "Mamdani Effect"—have added a fascinating new layer to our suburban narrative.

We all have moments where we try to shoot our shot directly—a straight line to our goal. We want the perfect career, the ideal relationship, or a smooth path to success. But sometimes, life doesn't allow for a clear, straight trajectory.

The air has a crisp, new bite to it. The leaves are turning from vibrant greens to fiery oranges and reds. While the scenery is beautiful, for a certain kind of person, this change doesn't bring a feeling of cozy anticipation—it brings grief.

The Danish concept of Hygge (pronounced hoo-guh) is all about finding comfort, conviviality, and well-being in the simple things. Fall is the perfect time to bring this philosophy home.

Look, I'm just gonna say it. October 15th (or, let's be honest, August 15th in some stores) is the official start of the holiday season. The air is starting to get that crisp, "oh my god, is that a pumpkin spice scent wafting from a store I'm not even near?" kind of chill. And while part of me is ready to embrace the cozy sweaters and the socially acceptable consumption of an entire wheel of brie, another part of me is already running a frantic mental marathon.

What an absolutely spectacular day for the annual Scarsdale Concours d'Elegance! The streets of Scarsdale Village were transformed into an outdoor museum, buzzing with enthusiasts, families, and, of course, some of the most stunning, meticulously preserved, and rare automobiles on the East Coast. The weather gods smiled down upon us, delivering a beautiful, clear October day—perfect for admiring polished chrome and flawless paintwork. I attached some photos of the Bugatti Bolide, Pagani Zonda and stunning Nissan/Skyline  GTR

Normally, Yom Kippur is all about hitting the pause button. You fast, you pray, you do some major soul-searching. It's like a personal reset button, where you apologize for the mistakes you made last year and promise to be better in the new one. It's deep, it's serious, and it’s very personal.
