That's the name of the book by my friend Phyllis Melhado, just signed to be published next May in time for beach reading.
Congrats to you Phyllis. Can't wait to read the book next spring. More at www.phyllismelhado.com
We go back to the days of L'eggs eggs and Krylon spray.
The latest issue of Road Buzz, the newsletter of the National Road Safety Foundation, just went online.
This issue gives an overview of the many activities and projects we do with and for the Foundation, our client. Lots of activities to engage young people in learning about and practicing safe driving behavior, like contests we do nationally (with Scholastic) and regionally with major auto shows.
Click here to link to the newsletter.
We partner with organizations including the National Safety Council and the Governors Highway Safety Association, as well as groups aimed at young people, like SADD and FCCLA.
We also work with groups that reach parents, teachers and police, which is why I'm on my way tonight to Columbus, Ohio to represent the Foundation at the PTA's National Leadership Conference. From there, I head south to Pigeon Forge, Tenn, probably best known as the birthplace of Dolly Parton and the location of Dollywood. I'll be there representing the Foundation at the NASRO Conference, comprised of school resource officers -- police -- who work in the classroom.
I love doing this work and representing the National Road Safety Foundation at these important meetings. I feel like I'm helping make a difference, and that's a really good feeling.
I just walked through the lobby of the Chrysler Building, on my way back from a meeting. I could have walked alongside it on Lexington Avenue, as I usually do every day on my way to and from work. But I decided to walk through the lobby, just for a change.
I'm so glad I did. I've been in that lobby many times, but the beauty of it really struck me today.
As you can see from these pictures, it's the epitome of art deco. So is the outside of the building, with its gargoyles looking down on us pedestrians as we scurry by 31 stories below, along with eagles up on the 61st floor.
With its magnificent spire, the Chrysler Building has been an integral part of New York's unique skyline since it was completed in 1930. It continues to stand out, especially as many of the newer skyscrapers go up with boring and uninspiring facades.
Even after almost 90 years, the Chrysler Building is part of what makes New York special.
We had a rainy start, but today turned out to be one of the perfect days here in New York ... warm, but not hot. Low humidity and a refreshing breeze... all under clear blue skies.
Beautiful. One of those days that makes it easy to love New York.
With thanks to all who served, and especially those who remain in Normandy.
In the words of a 96 year-old vet who was there and returned this week for the first time after 75 years... "Freedom is never free."
