Posted on March 10, 2009 by Ted

What a beautiful event and what deserved recognition for Abe and his family.

We all support Mr. Pollin as a partner and as a philanthropist. As I have noted, he has done more for Washington DC than any individual I have ever met.

It was so nice of him to come to DC yesterday to help honor Mr. Pollin.

Posted on March 10, 2009 by Ted

I believe in playing the cards you are dealt but here is an interesting take on a new scoring system in the NHL.
