“Jaws”, “Titanic”, “Batman”, and “Spiderman” etc. are what comes to mind when one thinks of a blockbuster. The advertisers and chatter made you feel that you had to see “Star Wars” or “The Avengers”.
This weekend, I was visiting with my mom, and we were cleaning up some papers in her house. We came across a copy of the recommendation that my daughter’s high school guidance counselor had written to accompany her college applications. Let’s do the math – that was nearly ten years ago.

A client recently commented on a coaster I had on my desk. It was an item my youngest daughter had made for in nursery school. She was given a small tray and inserted small ceramic tiles in it, using some sort of paste.
Sometime after this commentary get posted to our Gotham Network's listserve, I compose a tweet and post it to twitter. I do not like typos and unlike with Facebook, no current capability exists for twitter users to edit their tweets. Apparently, that may change. Already the social media platform is testing an edit function with its employees and will soon allow small universe to users get in on the action thereafter. I for one look forward to that capability.
