Another lovely celebration...

There weren't enough candles to satisfy the years and not exceed the permissible fire code for Birthday Cakes as a delicious end to a lovely dinner with friends at Elaine's topped off my midterm celebration.

New York is the Business Capital of the World...

Harold Mayne-Nicholls, on behalf of the Federación de Fútbol de Chile, made his way to New York on Sunday, April 18th, to do business on their behalf. I had the pleasure to renew the relationship established during the Women's World Cup in Chile, 2008. Harold has done a great job in Chile and is a solid figure in FIFA where his efforts have benefited his entire continent. We had time for a nice dinner at Bice during his visit.

In his annual visit to New York...

Michel Platini's April visit was commemorated with a casual photo with Chuck at his office in New York. Blazer said, "I am always happy to see Michel here. Not only do we have a great friendship, but we have always found ways to solve problems. With good will there are good solutions."



Michel, mon ami, we look forward to your return.
