Last night I saw an old friend and she brought over some really old pictures of the friends we lost on 9/11. Some great old pictures, very sad.
As always, I link to this old posting. They are in our thoughts.

Sound On
I’m not even sure how to properly describe this. Just watch with sound (it’s from April).

Brooklyn Sky
A nice outdoor dinner in Brooklyn. First a sunset in Brooklyn Bridge Park:
Followed by the 9/11 lights. Happy Labor Day weekend everyone…

July and August
I apparently missed posting my July Google Maps timeline, so for posterity sake, here is July and August.
July includes some college visits (empty campus visits, very odd) and vacation in Cape Cod:
August has even more range, but still drivable. Not sure when I’ll fly.

So You Think New York is Dead
From Jerry Seinfeld, the perfect rebuttal:
He says he knows people who have left New York for Maine, Vermont, Tennessee, Indiana. I have been to all of these places many, many, many times over many decades. And with all due respect and affection, Are.. You.. Kidding.. Me?!
Energy, attitude and personality cannot be “remoted” through even the best fiber optic lines. That’s the whole reason many of us moved to New York in the first place.
You ever wonder why Silicon Valley even exists? I have always wondered, Why do these people all live and work in that location? They have all this insane technology; why don’t they all just spread out wherever they want to be and connect with their devices? Because it doesn’t work, that’s why.
Real, live, inspiring human energy exists when we coagulate together in crazy places like New York City. Feeling sorry for yourself because you can’t go to the theater for a while is not the essential element of character that made New York the brilliant diamond of activity it will one day be again.
New York will be just fine…

June 2020
We are definitely venturing out. In June I got well outside of New York City. We have family in Wappingers Falls that we actually visited. I even made it to Connecticut once. Big travel.
Let’s keep those Covid numbers down.

Is clearly optimal…

Origami Risk Rocks RMIS Report
Yet again, Origami Risk shines in the RMIS Report 2020.
Published by Redhand Advisors and written by industry veterans David Tweedy and Patrick O’Neill, the report provides the most comprehensive analysis and commentary on the marketplace, industry analysis and trends and detailed provider profiles.
Net Promoter Score is calculated from actual client responses where they rate you from 0 – 10. A 9 or 10 earns 1 point, a 0 – 6 is a negative point and 7s or 8s are 0. Origami Risk is the only vendor with a positive NPS and our score is 60 points better than our nearest competitor.
But please note:
It is important to note that the RMIS Report does not endorse or attempt to rank the vendors or determine an overall winner. Nor should anyone try to infer a winner based on the results published. The RMIS Report is a guide to understanding the market and the vendors.
Read the whole report, it’s quite good. There’s a section on Third Party Administrator Providers, evaluating the system and service. The clear leader there is Gallagher Bassett who provides a white label version of Origami Risk called Luminos.
Note, green is good, dark green is really good. (But again, it’s not a ranking).
Origami Risk clearly rocks.

Courtesy of Google Maps, every place I went in the entire month of April. It’s usually a much bigger map…
