Job fair swamped by thousands: A scary sight
At first, I thought the news feed today was video of giant insects overtaking a building.
I had the sound on the TV turned down, and have a very active imagination. When I actually tuned in to the story, I realized the news was showing aerial footage of more than 2,000 people waiting for their turn to get into a job fair in South Florida.

A respectable sea of talent
Being a writer is often a lonely endeavor. A lot of the copywriting and editing I do is from behind the scenes. Some of my clients are across the country in corporate offices, or are shrouded by email.

- Hello Ester:
We may have met at the Chili Cook-off in Grand Central. I stopped at your booth.
If Lucky Dill closed, my husband would be very upset, they have a great pastrami sandwich! We also have had some fun and interesting times at The Prohibition Club at Grayl's Hotel on Beach Drive. The owners also own Wave Pool and Spa on 4th and 62nd Ave N.
Thought of having a "Meet & Greet" sometime for the folks in this VERY cool network?
I'm glad i found you!
