Come on, tell me a story
Despite all of our new found drama for Memorial Day weekend, let’s remember why we even have the holiday in the US. Originally known as Decoration Day, we remembered and honored those who died in the Civil war. Memorial Day was not the “official name” until 1967. Now, we honor all fallen soldiers.

Where are most planes flying?
It’s the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the USA, you traveling? Airline traffic is up…but it’s not the airports in NYC or Atlanta, Chicago, LA or London or Dubai that are crazy.

We’ve got your back. PS: Okay, maybe not my business, but who’s feeding the unicorn Cheez-its?
Did you find it?
You can find something positive everyday. Some days, you just need to look a bit harder. We all know someone who needs this today. Find the time to reach out to someone today and share a smile.
So what’s YOUR Opinion?
LinkedIn is rolling out a cool new feature to allow you do to polling (not on my browser yet…hint hint) I made a decision on what my first my poll question would be. This posting addition will provide some interesting insights. But some advice concerning polling: “If you’re guided by opinion polls, you are not […]
Today? Baseball is History
A quick history lesson on baseball: the first televised game happened today back in 1939. Princeton beat Columbia 2-1. This was a test game for MLB, as the first major league game on TV was Cincinnati taking on the Brooklyn Dodgers in a double header in NYC. For you TV content production types: only 2 […]
