We moved into a new house last weekend. We had to decide whether or not to mount our TVs on the wall. It I was not the most monumental decision. But neither is where to put the espresso spoons. The choice still has to be made. We ended up mounting the TVs in the living room and the bedroom, though I have to get used to it. It feels a little like I am in a hotel or hospital room. My father was actually an innovator when it came to mounting televisions. In the 1960s, I don't remember exactly when, we got our first color TV. He cut a rectangular hole in the wall in the den.

Monday is the big day for Apple watchers. They are announcing the release of the AppleWatch and rumors are flying about what else they might be showing us. Maybe an Apple TV or (gasp) the Apple Car.   Apple is now making more money than any other company has… ever. They’re the first company valued over $700 billion, with sights firmly set on $1 trillion. So why wouldn't they make a car.  

We recently had a house guest who inspired the above title. She gave real life meaning to the expression "she gives as much as she takes". Prior to her arrival we were the appreciative recipients of a bountiful Zabar's Gift Basket (truly a fine artful lodger's touch). She lived in our guest room in the manner of an appreciative family member (without the drama) and pitched in whenever and wherever she could. We did not go anywhere without her and our coordinated biking was a highlight to behold.

We got away from the cold last week. Sun, warm, beach, T-shirts. Lots of T-shirts and baseball-style hats. Almost all had something to say.

  New York City changed its rules yesterday. Cell phones are now allowed in schools. I say, it’s about time.

Last week I blogged about how our Gotham tribe works for each of us as “social business network.” Just three weeks from today – Sunday March 22, 2015, our tribe holds its third Annual Gotham Battle of the Bands.  

In a new use of the largest social network in the world, Facebook is adding features focussed on offering advice and support to those who may be considering suicide.   Right now if a friend sees a post that indicates self harm or suicide and flags it, Faceoobk reviews it and recommends a help line (which isn't new).
