I like stories.

Another great day to be OUTTA the office.

Last week I ventured up to a little town in northern New Jersey called Ramsey. Have you ever been? It reminded me of a northeast version of Mayberry. Small town, very walkable. Tiny shops and beautiful people strolling about. Lots of kids and the staple pizza shop, serving as a community gathering place.

I was visiting a client in northern New Jersey to go over an estate planning issue that had surfaced. My primary goal was to facilitate harmony within the family. During our discussion the emotional heat started to rise and tempers began to flair. I needed levity and QUICK.  I looked out the window and saw this comic book store called "GOTHAM UNDERGROUND". (pictured left)

Quickly, I blurted out...."Do you know its better to give than receive, but what goes around comes around?" I proceeded to explain what Gotham was and mentioned my extended Gotham family. It was perfectly placed in conversation and moved the dialgue along.

Gotham here, Gotham there, Gotham everywhere!

The magic never stops.

Like a superhero from the comic bookstore, Gotham saved the day!
