One day last week I glanced over and the pile of books beside my night table called out to me.
Perhaps you've met Nelson Mishkin? Nelson and I met in 2004. He is one of those special people that was brought into my life at the right time, for something greater than I anticipated and has been in my life ever since. Nelson is a past Gotham Member, a true member of the tribe. He lives the motto of giving over receiving, and knows that what he gives, he gets back in multiples.
  Well, at least for me. I started listening to podcasts a little while ago. I found that it was a great way to enhance (and extend) my walks. And of course, they were a fun way to break in my new Air Pods.
As I write this blog, it is Sunday and I am listening to the weather reports predicting a major snow storm. I sit here and wonder, now that most of our work is done virtually, what will a snow day look like in a virtual world?
This involves nothing political or otherwise.  
Last Thursday evening Gotham hosted a Zoom meeting with Ben's 91 years young Mom, Esther. I have heard her speak before and was looking foward to listening to her again.  
Joanne and I are above the 65 year old threshold to qualify for an appointment to get The Shot.   We are on an appointment list and I’ve been on a vaccination appointment website twice too early in the morning to get on another list and I just called a special number to get on still another list.  I even complained to the Mayor! So, despite our better level headed instincts, we have been sucked into the vortex of the Vaccine Mania which is abroad in the land. 
I overheard the conversation at the Long Island Women’s group meeting and it gave me food for thought.Does anyone remember when Wednesday was Prince Spaghetti Day?
