Gotham is abundant with wonderful, meaningful opportunities. Yesterday, the Gotham Book Club® hosted Tom Rinaldi, author of The Red Bandanna.

  A game changer, really.    

I had one of those horrible days at work this week. A client had an angry and emotional breakdown in the halls of the courthouse. Her breakdown had nothing to do with the results we were getting in court--in fact, we had just gotten a highly favorable recommendation from the judge--it was just a function of who she is.  

Gotham City Networking, Inc.®’s co-founder calls our Gotham Green® group, The Change The World Group. Easy to adopt that description. I often talk about the need to make a difference and as this month began – literally – on December 1, 2016, Gotham Green® announced the recipients of our Gotham Green Awards®.

Kentucky Fried Chicken of New Zealand is offering their really loyal customers the chance to win a strange piece of merchandise: a scented candle. Not just any candle though. The iconic fried chicken joint posted to their FB page a fried chicken-scented candle bearing the image of the chain's Colonel Sanders logo.   This is not the first time KFC offered unusual merchandise. They have produced chicken-scented sunscreen, nail polish designed to taste like fried chicken, and a cellphone charging station built into a KFC box.  

This is to thank all of you who contributed to Gotham's annual Season of Giving.  To be more precise, tax deductible contributions were made by many of you to Gotham's Foundation and totaled $20,000 this year.

We live in a condo development. PSE&G just completed a several-week project - replacing power lines. There was lots of equipment around - trucks, cranes,front loaders and a "CallAHead" for the convenience of the crew.

So I told this story at the MAD meeting yesterday, but I thought I'd share it here as well. My wife was reading the NY Times and saw a book she wanted to read, went to the library, that book wasn't available, she got another by the same author, loved it , googled what the author was writing about, and we ended up in Costa Rica riding shoeless, bitless horses through the jungle. Astounding experience, but thats not the story. I friended the woman leading the "workshop" on Facebook.
