Dec 29 Afternoon Reflection. Let Your Spirits Soar.

Afternoon Reflection. Post 4.

Something drawn from literature, journalism, music, or conversation that could have meaning for you. By Barry Novick

I was watching a movie a few nights ago called The Upside. Despite Roger Ebert's critical review, I rather enjoyed it! One scene particularly has stayed with me. Its backdrop is an uplifting piece sung by Aretha Franklin. The energy of the "action," the setting, and the music combined to be something quite exhilarating! So, if you are prepared to let your spirits soar, click here for take-off.

Aretha Franklin performing Nessun Dorma at the 1998 Grammy Awards. Trust me.

Barry Novick

Barry Novick became a real estate broker on the North Fork, after moving here from Manhattan with his family 25+ years ago. Barry is well-known in the community as an all-around great guy, and as the ultimate real estate professional. He has brokered land, residential and commercial properties, including brokering the most vineyards on the East End over the industry’s history. After growing up just outside of Washington, D.C., Barry earned his B.S. in Anthropology at the University of Maryland, which prepared him well for his business career in NYC. In recounting his youth in Washington, Barry notes riding the “Congressional subway” between the House and Senate along with Representatives, Senators, and a Vice President or two. He and his friends often sat in on open sessions, when they weren’t catapulting ravines at Great Falls, and other great things kids did then. Due to surviving all of the above, Barry wanes philosophical and is known for his somewhat hysterical sense of humor. He is probably the best friend a person could have. He and his wife live in Sag Harbor and Brooklyn Heights, and are always nearby his amazing daughter and son-in-law, and their extraordinary children.
