Last year when we were bracing for a hurricane, I remember thinking to myself, "What are the odds? We may not see this again for twenty years." Well, this extreme year of weather seems to want to insure that won't be true. Here comes Sandy.

It's becoming increasingly important to keep an eye on Hurricane Sandy and it's possible effects on our area in the upcoming days. Everyone from Alan Kasper to the New Jersey Office of Emergrency Management and the National Weather Service have their eyes glued to it's progress.It's a tough storm to predict.

I just had a birthday yesterday and it was awesome. I'm fortunate to be doing something I love and I got to spend my day with the people I love, so which birthday it is didn't really matter to me. Later in the day, though, a conversation broke out in the office about age.

The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties is there for our neighbors who need some assistance all year long. This is a great time of year to keep them in mind when you go food shopping. Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is less than a month away. 29 days away to be exact.

It was the 25th anniversary of the Greater Ocean Township Chamber or Commerce's Comedy Night this past Friday night. This year it was held at The Jumping Brook Country Club in Neptune, and it was a great night!

I went to the home improvement store to do a little shopping and pick up some Halloween stuff Saturday. I, like most people, try to shut down a little bit on the weekend, so I hadn't heard the forecast. I just didn't expect all the snow.

I was at a store a few days ago and heard a chorus of sneezes and coughs. I check Facebook and a lot of people are complaining about being sick. I come to work and tissue boxes are everywhere.

You can benefit the Susan G. Komen Central and Southern NJ Affiliates by attending the Pink Party this Thursday!

The 4th Annual Locals Feeding Locals event, to benefit The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties will take place Wednesday October 24th at Giamano's in Bradley Beach.

The other day, I was standing on my front porch and it started raining. Some kids down the street who were playing football scattered and ran home.

Diane and I are so proud to be a part of the Childhood Leukemia Foundation. We recently attended a meeting at their Brick office, and each time we get around the people from the Foundation, we truly feel inspired.

Bayshore Community Hospital is holding it's 5k Run/Walk and Community Day tomorrow at the hospital on North Beers St. in Holmdel from 10am to 2pm.
