The Gotham Book Club, founded by Julie Klein and Co-Chaired with her by John Buscarello, next meets (on line) on February 26th at 1:00 pm. For those of you who are not familiar with our Book Club, Julie manages to find world-class authors who are willing to discuss their books with us in real time on the Gotham website. Past Book Club discussions can be found on the website under Books at the top of the home page.   The upcoming selection is entitled "The Manor: Three Centuries at a Slave Plantation on Long Island". The author is Mac Griswold.

It seemed that everyone was doing it, so we gave it a try. Netflix that is. First “Breaking Bad”, then “House of Cards.” As late comers, we're still catching up with the old seasons.

In the "pre-monologue" of his first night as host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon told of how he used to beg his parents to stay up late to watch Johnny Carson.  I'm sure I'm not alone in being able to directly relate to such a story.    

Remember the days when handwritten notes were just what you did? You didn’t really think about it. When there was a personal message to convey, it was sent through pen and paper.

The world's largest solar farm is fully operational. Called Ivanpah, it has almost 350,000 mirrors the size of garage doors that tilt toward the sun with an ability to energize 140,000 homes covering over 5 square miles of the Mojave Desert.

One of the many Gotham aspects which differentiates us from other groups is our list service. We start with Freds List which in many ways is the backbone or "magic wand" of Gotham. The Amazing fruits of Fredslist posts are countless and you should feel free to comment as to your favorite. As Gotham grew there were complaints that there were too many self-promotional posts clogging Freds List. As a consequence we came up with Promo List which allows people to blatantly promote themselves on either Tuesday or Friday on a separate cost free listserve.
