And the talented and charitable artist, Allen Hirsch, just did a demo video for children so they can learn special techniques to build creative art pieces.
The Miami Children’s Hospital, now known as Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, has agreed to give out 200 art kits to needy children during the pandemic.
It’s so important to keep children, in and out of the hospital, busy with creative projects. Their parents simply can’t afford these extras.
I need to raise another $2,000 to make this happen. Some of you helped me raise enough money to provide art kits for the Joe Di Maggio’s Children Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. Now I need to do the same for Nicklaus.
Please help me be a success. Each kit costs $15. Please donate as many kits as you can. You can donate here. Thank you so very much.
I’ve seen this remarkable, talented woman at our art residency, Fountainhead, in Miami, a few times but tonight was a real treat. 25 of us had a fabulous 90 minute meeting. Thank you Kathryn Quinlivan Mikesell and The Fountainhead Residency.
“Lying On The Beach On Camera” (LOBOC) looks at some TV options while stuck at home. Hosts Lois Whitman-Hess and Steve Greenberg along with show manager David Nieves, focuses on the fashion competition between Bravo’s Project Runway vs Amazon’s “Making The Cut”. It could get ugly.

During an online studio visit, Miami artist Phil Lique asked his Ouija board the name of the next President of the U.S. It pointed to the letter “T.” Most of us may not believe in the super natural, but it was enough to make me sick. The artist wasn’t happy either. So are we going to let this happen? Trump got in the first time. Don’t think Trump can’t do it again. We need a definite plan.
I was fortunate enough today to participate in an online tech workshop today hosted by Shelly Palmer, CEO of The Palmer Group, a consulting practice that helps Fortune 500 companies with technology. Ninety tech professionals from around the country attended the Zoom conference, and the majority of them admitted that they were willing to give up their privacy in order for tracking services to let them know if they came in contact with a Corona Virus carrier.
They felt staying healthy was the priority over privacy. They also pointed out that they gave up their privacy years ago with the advent of Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Social media companies know more about us than some members of our family. This is not the time to start whining about it. Most of the group also said they had no intention of going to restaurants, malls, bars, or any location with sizable crowds. No socializing till we get a cure.
John Grisham made an appearance on a virtual tour at our local book chain in Miami, Books & Books. Owner Mitchell Kaplan interviewed John about his new book, “Camino Winds,” and stories in the works. John, who is on the board of “The Innocence Project,” said it might be a non-fiction book. That’s a scoop.
This happened at a New York Airport . This is hilarious. I wish I had the guts of this girl.
An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you.
A crowded United Airlines flight was cancelled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, “I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS.”
The agent replied, “I’m sorry, sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but I’ve got to help these folks first; and then I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.”
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?”
Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone.
”May I have your attention, please?”, she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. “We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14”.
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, “F*** You!” Without flinching, she smiled and said, “I’m sorry sir, you’ll have to get in line for that, too.”
Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
The Covid Virus has forced the entire medical industry to re-think routine office visits. Medical instruments are being invented today that will allow for remote examinations. It’s called TeleMedicine. It’s all about trying to keep patients safe, healthy and in their homes.
One remarkable new device that is being developed is the TelScope Oral Telehealth System. This product, along with a companion app, allows dentists to remotely look inside the patient’s mouth and take pictures for evaluation.
The TelScope features a light and clear tongue depressor that makes it easier to see. The device connects to your phone and takes photos and videos remotely.
The app also measures teeth, lesions, bumps and anything else inside the mouth.
The above video shows exactly how the TelScope is used and also features an interview with the founder, Jennifer Holland of Holland Heathcare Inc
The TelScope sells for $126 and includes 1 TelScope handle, 1 box of 50 recyclable tongue depressor blades, and 1 year free on the app.
We are all Zooming but do you know the do’s and don’ts to a proper Zoom? Lois Whitman-Hess, Steve Greenberg and David Nieves, give you the low down in this edition of LOBOC (Lying On The Beach On Camera) Powered by HandLNewYork.com.
The Navy Blue Angels flew over South Florida this afternoon in a salute to healthcare workers and first responders.
At 1 p.m., they left over the Boca Medical Center and came down Federal Highway before passing over Miami Beach and downtown Miami, heading south to Homestead before heading north.
Their route takes them over some of the area’s biggest medical centers, including Boca Medical Center, Broward General, Joe DiMaggio’s Childrens Hospital, Jackson Memorial and more. Photos by Eliot Hess
