Is someone truly great if their path includes cheating or aligning themselves with people who do?   This question came up for me this morning when I was thinking about the Super Bowl and Tom Brady. He is often referred to as a G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time). His football acheivements are truly remarkable...6 Super Bowl rings and 10 appearances. No one even comes close let alone the dominance and longevity in a sport that lays waste to some great athletes.  

I start this blog without any idea as to where it’s going or how it’s going to end... All I know is that I need to know what’s going on?  Thank you Marvin Gaye for your inspiration and timeless plaint! Maybe that’s all there is and it’s for you to answer!   What’s going on for you?

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.
