Posted By : Cayce Crown

Did you know tht on the final copies of the Declaration of Independence, a woman's name appears? On January 18, 1777, Congress convened in Baltimore and ordered the second printing by Mary Katharine Goddard. This edition is outstanding as the only Declaration titled The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America, having been pri

Your Turn
Posted By : Cayce Crown

"Your Turn," that is the name of the 10 min film you are encouraged to watch if you are chosen to be in the Jury select pool in New York State. It promotes the idea that you are doing a great service and the trials will be "fascinating." I'll leave it up to our litigating Gothamites to answer that one. For $40 a day, if you are not being paid be an

Adopting A New Mindset
Posted By : Cayce Crown

I was reminded this week of all I have to be grateful for, don't worry I'm not going to list it all here. I saw a video of the Sanders family. Christina and Christopher met as teenagers, fell in love, got married and had five kids. Could be a perfect end of story, except Christina wanted to adopt another child. So they go through all the rigamaroll

Presidents on Patriotism
Posted By : Cayce Crown

My attitude is that I’m less concerned about what you’re wearing on your lapel than what’s in your heart," he told the campaign crowd Thursday. "You show your patriotism by how you treat your fellow Americans, especially those who serve. You show your patriotism by being true to our values and ideals.

Everything's Easy

A Lesson from History by Joseph Morris Everything's easy after it's done;Every battle's a "cinch" that's won;Every problem is clear that's solved--The earth was round when it _revolved!_But Washington stood amid grave doubtWith enemy forces camped about;He could not know how he would fareTill _after_ he'd crossed the Delaware.   Though the river w

Right In Your Own...

From April 2015, still true for me today (maybe more so):   I read recently that Jeb Bush inadvertently checked the Hispanic box in his voter registration form in 2009. His response was, “My mistake! Don’t think I’ve fooled anyone." It reminded me of a the silly mistakes I make and how foolish it is to get angry about them. How many times have I fr

Oculus

I'm very fortunate that business has brought me to the World Trade Center transportation and shopping hub a few times in recent weeks. It is magnificent. It is called the Oculus, designed by Santiago Calatrava, and completed at twice the original (public money) funding at 4 Billion Dollars. You can get both the PATH and the subway in this fantastic

This is a re-working of my blog from November 2015. Still true. I needed the reminder. The greatest gift Gotham gives us is the gift of interaction, engagement and participation with our fellow Gothamites. It reveals who we truly are and what we truly want. A gift unique to Gotham, that you can create events based on your interests, just be prepare

Kintsugi
Posted By : Cayce Crown

From Wikipedia: Kintsugi, also known as Kintsukuroi, is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. As a philosophy, k

A story of change... A three-alarm fire ripped through an empty, landmarked synagogue on the Lower East Side Sunday night, according to the FDNY. Nearly 140 firefighters battled to bring the blaze under control for about five hours, from p.m. to shortly after midnight.

Second Thoughts and Kindness
Posted By : Cayce Crown

On this day in 1937, Margaret Mitchell won the Pulitzer prize for her first, and only, novel: Gone with the Wind. She wrote the book while recovering from an ankle injury and only showed it to a publisher's talent scout after initially saying she didn't have anything worth showing him. Second thoughts can be valuable. Being born and raised primaril
