Got a Sec?
We spent Saturday, July 30 at Caramoor's Jazz Festival, which was presented in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center. The day featured some incredible jazz musicians and delicious food. So we wondered, what food pairs perfectly with jazz music? Fortunately (or unfortunately), there are several answers to this question – each are perfect. Victor Zaud, Los Angeles Katonah Connect: What ...
Higher Ground
Writing by Gia Miller Photography by Justin Negard It’s a story we all know. A group of high school kids form a rock band. They play at school events and local concerts. They’re typically the “cool kids” or the rebels, and they haven’t given any thought to what will happen after high school. But we’d like to tell a story ...

Caring for Senior Dogs
Writing by Dr. Sarah J. Cutler Artwork by Monique Ford If we are lucky, our pet dogs live until they are eight, 10 or 16 years old. We start using the descriptive term “senior” around eight years of age, although, sadly, some giant breeds may begin this phase of life as early as age five. This “senior” time period can ...
A Day at Sagamore Hill
Writing and photography by Justin Negard For this issue, we thought a travel story to someone’s home was appropriate. However, rather than drag you to a glitzy mansion with a multi-car garage, we decided instead to show you a home with history, personality and a little bit of the bizarre. If you are an animal lover, as we are, please ...
3 Ways to Save Money on Home Heating & Cooling
Spring is finicky – one day it’s warm, the next day it’s cool. Sometimes the air conditioning is on, and other days you need the heat. But regardless if you’re heating or cooling, it definitely costs more these days. And, unfortunately, experts say oil prices may continue to rise for months or even the remainder of the year. There are, ...

How to Create a Productive Workspace
Writing by Kayla Schmidt Artwork by Aeneas Eaton In the age of artificial intelligence, productivity can no longer be measured by a person’s efficiency to complete tasks. “Productivity needs to be redefined to measure how you think about and approach problem solving,” says Yoko Kawai, co-founder of Mirai Workspace, lecturer at Yale University, and principal art architecture designer for Penguin ...

Think You’re Too Busy to Green Your Home?
Here's how start, while barely lifting a finger. By Gia Miller When it comes to making your home more environmentally friendly, the lengthy (and potentially expensive) “to do” list can be paralyzing. Do I install a heat pump first? Invest in solar panels? Buy new appliances or get a “smart” thermostat? The answer to all these questions is “no.” Instead, ...

Connecting at the Bar: Shake it Up
Writing by Cathy Deutsch Photography by Justin Negard Dust off your martini shaker, fire up your ice maker and join the latest trend in libations: cocktails. But please don’t settle for just any cocktail, try the ones featuring tequila and Bourbon – they’re the leaders of the pack in our neck of the woods, according to local liquor stores and ...
Blueberry Sour
Blueberry Sour Last year, I began making my own liqueurs. I’ve made blood orange, cherry, watermelon, lavender and blueberry. They’re simple to make and taste much better than the store-bought version. I’m on my second batch of blueberry liqueur, and this drink is one of my favorites.Download & Printhttps://connecttomag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Blueberry-sour.jpg Ingredients Serves: Two 2 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice 4 oz ...

Making Meaning Where You Can’t Make Sense
“Some things in life cannot be fixed; they can only be carried.” ― Megan Devine, author of It's Ok that You're Not Ok I’ve spent many years trying to make sense of my psychological and circumstantial struggles, ever on the lookout for “signs” that would clue me in to the reason for it all — the spiritual rationale, the big “why.” ...
Empowered Optimism
Empowered Optimism – The only kind that really works We hear a lot about the importance of keeping a positive attitude, a.k.a. being optimistic. Like gratitude, it’s an overused term that we’re told we must do if we’re going to “live our best life” and “shed the negative beliefs holding us back.” The question is, how? With numerous not-so-positive things ...
“Soul Deep” Self Care, Part 2
Creating a “soul deep” self-care routine Sure, bubble baths are great, but real self-care is a daily routine that improves the quality of your life If you read the previous article on the what and why of “soul deep” self-care, you’re ready to move on to the actual doing. If you haven’t, please read that one first – it’s quick, ...

Chili and Spice
Spicy. I wanted spicy. After a few months in Katonah, I still hadn’t found the hot singles scene that I was looking for. Sure, I tried the sewer ribbon-cutting in December – that was a big dump. I’ve sauntered the aisles of DeCiccos in a striking pair of Louboutins, but I always leave with dinner for one. I even bought ...
2023 Pride Events
Before this year, I’d never been to a pride event before, and I didn’t know there were any in Northern Westchester. I felt alone, and like my community didn’t support me. But now that I’ve learned what’s around us, I want to shout it from the rooftops….or write it about online. Here’s what’s on the gay agenda for June, so ...
