I was so saddened by the news last week of the death of David Cassidy. He truly was my first child hood crush.
One starts in two days, another in two weeks; others also this month too. And so to ring in the season I release an updated version (all links work at time of posting) of
Happy Holidays in song
Enjoy!
Ahhh the first snowflake...finally winter has arrived. I thought I might share some fun and reflective quotes about snow. Enjoy your weekend :-)
"A snowball in the face is surely the perfect beginning to a lasting friendship." Markus Zusak
"When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels." Unkown
Tuesday night was our annual Holiday Party, at the Friars Club, and it was attended by about 100 people despite the rain (how come it always rains when we have our party?).Highlights were the announcement of the 2 well deserving 2017 Networkers of the Year, Susan Zinder and Carly Meyer (pictured above) who continued our winning red heads tradition.
Yesterday, the morning after Gotham announced its Networkers of the Year and recipient of the revered Red Bandana Award, Time magazine announced its Person of the Year — the Silence Breakers — the women who came forward to hold Harvey Weinstein accountable and bring him down. Inspiring, and inspired by, #MeToo, the Silence Breakers began a conversation. Indeed it is more than a conversation. There are revelations every day, and with every new revelation, we are each compelled to re-examine. This is a movement, perhaps a revolution, that no-one can ignore.
With full disclosure, I’m not the biggest Disney fan. But, last week we were in Orlando for a concert because my son was performing. How could we be in Orlando and not visit Disney? Bill indulged me but insisted that he was not setting foot into Magic Kingdom.
Several years ago-after Hurricane Sandy-my husband and I decided to apply for a grant, through N.Y. Rising, to raise our home above flood level. After several years of applications, submissions of plans, costs etc. and a variance hearing, work is set to begin on our home tomorrow.
