Are you aware that Gotham has a Hall of Fame?

Happy holidays..... Our children are all married with young families. One lives in Manhattan, one lives on Brooklyn, another in Alexandria, Virginia and another in Washington D.C. Getting everyone together has always been a challenge and it has been years since we were all together in one place.

The question, “how can we help you?” asked most often by Nancy Schess at Gotham meetings was directed a little differently as we closed a Gotham COVID Review a few weeks back. Those are Gotham's magic words.    

  We are big burger fans in my house. I remember years ago when my son was in middle school we even started a Long Island mother-son lunch tour to find the best hamburger on Long Island.

I have become obsessed with watching “The Crown.” It is the story of the current Queen of England’s reign. I first tried to watch it from the beginning, episode one, season one. But I quickly became a bit confused as who was who and I stopped watching mid-episode.  

(Saturday’s blogger’s commentary yesterday in part inspired this musing about the aftermath of the recent snowfall.)

The joys of winter! It's beautiful...everything coated in white, brisk mornings where you can see your breath, the crunch of snow under your feet and sitting in front of a nice warm, cozy fire.   And of course...battling with the snow thrower, slipping and banging your head, shoveling really heavy snow and dealing with drivers that should not be on the road.  

Following up on Ben's blog of yesterday, we thoroughly enjoyed our annual Holiday Party Wednesday night and, as is tradition, the weather was daunting, ie, it snowed and snowed and snowed. So much so that it amounted to another silver lining in that the pandemic prevented a traditional in person festival and required that we party conveniently on Zoom.
