I can't remember a presidential primary in New York that made a difference. Usually, the nomination is decided well before the New York primary. Not this year. We're actually getting the TV ads, the campaigning, the candidates, even a debate in Brooklyn! I have a premonition, perhaps a concern, that New York will make a difference. We will look back at April 19th and recognize that New York’s vote was critical.

With the Gotham "How To Get Business" seminar just around the corner, I thought these interesting and unique tips were worth a read.

Photos of the children were unavailable but sources tell me they were jumping around the back seat yelling "drive faster."  

It is a simple fact that for a network to work, be it electrical or social, it requires connections, be they mechanical or mental.  Gotham is a cornucopia of connections which hum day by day around the clock.   Of course, one of the secrets of success is to be a connector or go to guy or gal.  

We were in Washington last weekend and visited a wonderful exhibit at the Renwick Gallery, a small gallery near the White House dedicated to the crafts.
