I Don't Have the Answer
Posted By : Cayce Crown

What do you do when an organization is doing "good," but they also are doing something you don't support? Let me first say, that I can often not see the "big picture" and I am also often an A#%hole. I was sent two emails, asking me to "adopt" a child in poverty by two people I trust. Thanks to wonderful Gotham members Sonia and Gail, I went to Char

Remember Officer Tippett
Posted By : Cayce Crown

Fifty-four years ago on this day, a police officer, army veteran, father, husband and a man working two part jobs in addition to being a police officer, was shot and killed in the suburbs of Dallas, TX while investigating a murder. Everyone remembers the victim of that murder, lets take a moment to remember a man doing his job, supporting his famil

Seven Notes
Posted By : Cayce Crown

Twenty-Six letters. Seven colors in a rainbow. Isn't it amazing what human beings can do with just a few musical notes, or colors or letters. Create joy, bring back forgotten memories, enlighten nations. We can do so much with so little, the human heart and brain are miraculous things.     There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is

TONIGHT

One of the greatest things about being a member of the Gotham Tribe is the opportunity you have for utilizing your skills to create events that everyone can enjoy. Things like the Golf Outing, the Battle of the Bands, Highline Tours, were all created out of members ideas and their collaboration. These celebrations have been wonderful times for all

We Are All of Us
Posted By : Cayce Crown

There is always a little more hope in the first of the month. A new beginning. A fresh start. I've started wearing a "mile 0" pin that I got in Key West (staying at the Klein Cottage!!) to remind me that all we have is this one moment in time. (cue Whitney Houston) Its nice to think that I'm always at mile zero and that mile zero is in paradise. To

Blame James Corden?
Posted By : Cayce Crown

File this under "Canadian Cops have too much free time." From the HuffPost: Talk about a bum note: A Montreal man says he’s facing a $117 traffic ticket just for singing in his car. In September, Taofik Moalla was driving home and singing along to “Gonna Make You Sweat,” a 1990 dance music smash by C+C Music Factory. Y’know, the one that goes, “

From Fox News:   A woman claims that after being sexually assaulted by a Hollywood producer, her friend, Carrie Fisher sent the man cow tongue as a warning. The story was recounted by Heather Ross to 94.9 Mix, who claims an Oscar-winning producer asked her about meeting up in person to discuss work. "I was overweight. It wasn't like I was a s

Human Capacity
Posted By : Cayce Crown

I wish for us all to be more conscious of people in trouble, and to reach out whenever we can. Now I will leave it to those more wise than I to speak:   “There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.'No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.” -

3 Questions
Posted By : Cayce Crown

I don't where these originated, I heard them from Deepak Chopra.   We could change the world with these questions. Especially Facebook.   1. Is it true? 2. Is it kind? 3. Is it necessary?     My darling wife, Sheilagh, said: "Then there will be no cat videos for you." Oh no, I said cat videos are necessary. I find them so soothing. You may prefe

Hillary, Coco, Charlize & me
Posted By : Cayce Crown

I knew if I wrote a blog about HRC, that it would be potentally polarizing. She brings up a lot of strong feelings in people. My reason for writing the blog becomes, then, more appropriate. I want to write about not caring what people think of me. Coco Chanel has a great quote which I used to adore: “I don't care what you think about me. I don't t

The Trees
Posted By : Cayce Crown

I just finished watching a documentary on PBS about the trees at the 9/11 Memorial and, once again, I am moved - inspired - invigorated with hope with all the good work that goes on that we know nothing about. It goes hand in hand with Hidden Figures (a narrative film) and Come From Away (Broadway Show), both of which should be mandatory viewing fo

On this day in 1991, the World Wide Web was opened to the public. 1991. 26 years. No iPhones, Netflix, Amazon. No email, Macbooks, DVDs (which are now basically obsolete). No GOOGLE. No FACEBOOK. No TWITTER. No INSTAGRAM.   We have come a long way (baby). Like all big changes it has its "flaws," but its a tool to be used consciously. Though I hav

Carefully Taught
Posted By : Cayce Crown

All this week on Facebook I've been posting different Youtube versions of Rodgers & Hammerstein's timely song from South Pacific, You Got To Be Carefully Taught. It caused quite a controversy in 1949, when the Broadway show opened, especially in my birth region. _______________ From Wikipedia: "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" (sometimes "Yo
