By and large our tribe offers much support and many opportunities to bond and build mutual and enduring relations.

I like the random surprises. I think of G0tham in terms of "Strange Attractors".

An attractor (quoting wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor) "is a set of physical properties toward which a system tends to evolve, regardless of the starting conditions of the system. Property values that get close enough to the attractor values remain close even if slightly disturbed." [not a reference to mental or emotional states]
...
"An attractor can be a point, a finite set of points, a curve, a manifold, or even a complicated set with a fractal structure known as a strange attractor. "

Something for everyone ... And all within a family!

Pretty much exactly.

I met some of my best friends in gotham

I agree. When I have something to offer to Gotham, it gives me a great feeling, and when I've needed an experienced and/or informed suggestion or even intervention (I remember when my friend's mother was in the hospital), I am grateful for having Gotham to turn to. Dana Charlton

I am thankful for Gotham every day of the week. Simply amazing...

Now, this is a blog topic. I think, in Gotham, we do for one another because we want to, not because someone is overseeing us.

Gotham City Networking Inc. has played a HUGE part in who you and I are to each other at this juncture. I can imagine other relationships have been nurtured as well. Besides.....It is a diversion from my usual MO on Fridays which is tracking down boney assed drugged out and tattooed chicks at the Plandome LIRR station. ! What's your diversion on Fridays !!! I told you I would somehow fit that in !!

Agree Fred! Our "magnetism" is like that in a family. We plan special events and moments to enjoy each others company, and help foster growth both personal and professional. We share the joys (births, graduations, etc.) and the sad/difficult times (illness, deaths...) to support each other and increase our unity.

Wonderful comment birthday girl!

Sad that so few read and commented on this blog.

Absolutely! I have only been involved with Gotham for a short while, but I can tell that this a strong community of like-minded individuals who are genuinely concerned for one another's well-being.
