With the reopening of the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday, it rang a bell for work I did at the NYSE in 2009. Reaching into my archival portfolio, I found a piece about an apprenticeship program for college grads at NYSE.
Look at the trading floor buzz and energy – people traffic that we haven’t seen in some time. I wonder if and when it will be like that again – and I wonder where these young people are now – more than 10 years later.

What better sign of spring than baby chicks! Watch as 50 brand new chicks from Amish country in Pennsylvania arrive to New York to live on Longhaul Farm in Garrison. Over the next year, we’ll be getting to know the farmers and their family and see what they’re cultivating – it’s more than organic food!
Jocelyn and Jason left what they thought were their dream jobs to pursue a different kind of success and examine the American Dream. We’ll watch as their egg-laying hens grow and a variety of seeds are planted – including some in the community to promote the sustainability of local power.

The ice brings alive animated fantasies like Frozen – helping children (and adults) realize that ice castles are actually possible! It’s a chance to witness small wonders like a beautiful brook flowing in the midst of a frozen mountain.
Living on the East Coast, I have always celebrated the cold weather and especially the snow. Growing up in southern California, the seasons varied from moderate temperatures to hot.
