But it has now arrived. This past weekend felt like the first fall weekend, Sunny and 50s. Halloween decorations started to appear. A few mentions of upcom …
The Ryder Cup at Bethpage. Years of preperation. Millions of dollars of construction. The hieght of anticipation finally arrived. Bethpage Black looked amazing. The best possible conditions.

You set a password every 60 to 90 days. Then you have to re-set it. For security reasons of course. Its not easy to think of a good password, something you like, something you can remember. Then you think of one you really like, then you have to change it. And you cant re-use the password again, its basically gone from your rotation. This is the be …

Hopefully those who read it every week enjoy it. Hopefully more Gothamites become engaged. It doesn’t just appear in your inbox by itself. There is a behind t …
