I've taken to calling this place "Bloomberg" on occasion, without really thinking about it. If he somehow gets a fourth term, this will catch on.

thank you for the link to elizabeth taylor. is nice to see a mention of someone i actually have heard of, not a punk rocker, or a junkie. someone of universal significance. read obituary last night, ny times. i grew up w/her, cleopatra & all. she was one of those vanishing beauties, amazing artist, the real thing.
