'21' Club is all dressed up for Christmas!


The Christmas season always brings memories of my days in New York and working at CBS and Martex. I can remember many a fun lunch and parties at '21' and especially when it was only a few doors down from CBS Black Rock. ( the name for the beautiful CBS building at 51 West 51 street). Those were golden days in New York City.
'21' always looks so festive at this time of year.

Wyoming Wonderland at Thanksgiving.

My niece Lauren Venuto Davies took this picture during the Thanksgiving holiday. The photo is of the West Pass Ranch in Wyoming. Located at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains on the border of Wyoming and Montana.

What a beautiful bucolic image. It almost looks like a painting. Thank you for this beautiful image Lauren.

Happy Thanksgiving To All!


This Thanksgiving as we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Thanksgiving Thought.

This morning in Los Angeles...thank you!
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was "thank you" that would suffice.

The words of Meister Eckhart (above) a learned philosopher.

July Fourth Thoughts!


Wishing you an enjoyable Fourth of July weekend! I think Elmer Davis said it best,"this nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave."
God Bless America.

Happy Father's Day & More



Today I pay tribute to my family: my wife who made me a Father and my children who have made every Father's Day memorable. I also pay tribute to my Grandfather Angelo (mustache) and my father Charles. These extraordinary Italian/Americans came to this country to seek a better life and they have instilled in us all a love for this country and all it has to offer. Happy Father's Day to all Fathers...it is a special day for us all!My Father pictured below on his wedding day and with his father as a young boy with the look of wonder which he carried all through his life and which he passed on to me. Thanks Dad!

Gift Wrap Idea!

Why not make your package part of the gift. I love this idea of using a gold wire box with packing material as the wrap for whatever is the gift. It is also real easy to get into and useful for "re-gifting" nes pas? This Christmas we will be giving, small, thoughtful and clever gifts!

Let The Feast Begin

But before we do begin the turkey, stuffing, pies etc. let us bow our heads and give thanks to God. The world would be a better place if we only took a minute each day to give thanks for things big or small and appreciate the beauty around us. I have always thought the best things in life are free...it is all there, take time to see and appreciate. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
