WELCOME to the website!

I've got something here today for people all across the country.

But here in New York City, gotta tell you it's lookin' pretty good right now for another typically wonderful day in Central Park this Saturday. If by any chance that little rain front moves through on Saturday, I'm actually gonna ask The Parks Department if it's cool to head out there on Sunday instead. We'll see. If you're gonna be in town on this early Memorial Day Weekend, I hope I see you out there.

Gonna be a great day if this weather holds up.

Okay now... a couple of days ago I posted a phone conversation I had with an employee of Citibank. I told you all that I though, if you listened to the ting right to the end, that you would probably wind up with a smile on your face.

Well, a lot of people have been hitting that CONTACT button and emailing me their feelings about the whole thing. It's been pretty cool.

So, today I decided to post it one mo' time.

We've become tragically aware that unregulated financial institutions, banks, credit card companies and executives of low character and less principle have been bilking the American people for profit in the most outrageous and underhanded ways.

Well... I decided to call CITIBANK! The woman on the other end of the phone just made my day! (But, I bleeped out her name on the outside chance that if anyone at Citibank ever heard this sweet person they'd probably fire her ass faster than they raise interest rates!)

Make a cup of coffee and settle back. The conversation is about 16 minutes long. But, I really think you'll smile by the end of it. And, I think you'll understand why I named my last CD... "I LOVE THE COMPANY".

Here's the phone conversation.

MY CALL TO CITIBANK

Did you have at least a little fun with that?! I'm thinking about turning it into a video of some kind. I think it's good for all of us to know that we're not alone.

Okay...

If you're new around here, be sure to check out these videos and feel free to leave a comment of you like.

Okay, one more photo sent in by a woman named Mary.

Great, really sweet moment for me.

Hey parents? When you come out to the hill, please be cool and actually be parents, okay? (More about that in the weeks to come.)

See you all out in Central Park really soon.

Thanks for everything.

PEACE
