Oh it’s been a while my friends but while I might have been out of sight, I hope I was not out of mind. I was working hard, honest. I wasn’t just slacking on a beach somewhere or lounging about on a cruise ship verandah. If I had been – I assume you, I would have been here and being smug about it.

No, I was working, working, working. And now I need a drink. I’m going to get one too on Tuesday when I go to the ORT New York Autumn Cocktail Reception. It’s a networking event (isn’t everything these days?) but networking is not required. As far as I know, the requirements are shirts and shoes.

Come, drink, eat and you just may get to see me engaged in my least favorite activity – public speaking. Oy.
