It’s the name of a Neil Young compilation from 1977 covering 1966-1976. A ten-year period that gives some meaning to a relationship many in Gotham believe spans a time much longer. It involves Gotham and I did not even mention it at the Picnic which included a competitive softball game that ended on a controversial play: a ball rolling foul got …
Last weekend we enjoyed the first use of our verified TSA enrollments. It involved a short flight to Roanoke. As to the lines, we appeared not to save much time, since we caught a not so busy time. Nonetheless, I enjoyed not needing to shed my sneakers and unpack the Mac, iPad and iPhone. And we enjoyed that same convenience on the return trip. Lig …
Knowing a few folks often becomes a calling card in doing business. The proverbial “large” rolodex (Anyone still use one – I once had two!) became a resource often helpful in developing business prospects, securing introductions, accessing experts and more. At a recent non-profit board meeting, several matters came up. A board member I had recru …
I enjoy recognizing those who make a difference in our communities and the world. This explains my involvement in the Gotham Green Awards® – established by Gotham City Networking, Inc.® and Gotham Green® – which recognize people, businesses and organizations that work on environmentally sustainable initiatives and projects. Indeed, as co-chair o …
When March arrives I anticipate and look forward to Spring. I think more about Baseball with opening day at the end of the month of late. Some other things of note occur on the Sports side. March Madness means College Hoops and pools for many. Football Free Agency starts in less than two weeks on March 14 (the draft about six weeks later, April 25- …
Interesting how time intersects. So in last week’s blog, I released an updated Happy Holidays in song playist, which included a few extra Chanukah songs. Some people provided links to some songs you’ll find next year (though I did informally add them pending placement within the flow of the existing list.). In the week that followed last year’s …
At Thanksgiving which we celebrated last Thursday, we express thanks for our family, friends and all good things. In two days we get a different chance to express our thanks. Indeed, many of our inboxes probably experienced receipt of email messages exhorting our participation in giving on Tuesday, christened “Giving Tuesday,” Interestingly, in Go …
Today please join me in celebrating two special anniversaries. One involves music and 50 years. Another not yet a decade but many people think much longer. This eve, as some who follow Gotham’s music listserve know, the first of two anniversary concerts recognizing the 50th Anniversary of the iconic Byrds LP, “Sweetheart of the Rodeo,” takes …
A year ago I discussed two gatherings. This time just one. It represented almost that cross-pollination effect that Fridays blogger likes to note at meetings or other things Gotham. Most times I enjoy a morning full court “game.” This week no court experience but the 4th Annual Gotham Picnic and Softball game. Keeping with tradition, we used my ca …
Early this summer Shelly “declared” we would redo the “patio” and garden space below our deck next year in time for next summer. She meant a total redo to a space I did on my own probably at least 25 years. Some of the space, including a spot for the grill on Belgian blocks became an afterthought when we replaced the deck. At the July 17 meeting …
At Gotham meetings we’ll mention the “Power of Gotham.” How through Fredslist which I have moderated since last fall, we find help for our needs, some rather difficult, place friends and relatives and some of us in new gigs. Many of us look good to friends, relatives – and clients who benefit from the introductions to the professionals in our Gotha …
The evening before involved a rather large outing of sorts. Some 265 or so of friends, colleagues, their family, friends, colleagues and clients. Attending either through Gotham City Networking, Inc.® or Kings FDR Tolerance Foundation of FDR Lodge 613, Knights of Pythias. Citifield. Mets v. Yankees. Five home runs. Fireworks during the game …

Gotham Green® annually recognizes those who make a difference in our communities and the world by celebrating people and …
GREEN RIVER This blog may tease some. It notes a special announcement that I get to make. Actually many. But in honor of some of the great leakers of news of the current White House, many anonymously memorialized in a book that shot to the top of the charts as this weekend began, no names. This Thursday, Gotham GREEN® announces the recipient …
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 …
