Madeline Tarquinio, Research Director for ERE, put together a great get-together for the NYC ERE Group (the FIRST group on ERE - thanks David). Sadly, a family situation precluded her attendance but she was toasted by many.

Of course, Manaster took little time in dogging me about my blog posting frequency, so here it is D-Man, my public promise to blog far more than I have been the past year (ya hear that Snyder?). I have a notebook full of observations from the business world as it relates to talent and I'm coming back with no-holds barred.

Since I've known David for over 10 years, I'll continue to let him review any potentially ascerbic POVs (I like him too much to embarrass him publically - lobster bib incident notwithstanding...you gotta let it go David, let it go).

Again, thanks to the entire ERE team for creating such a great Forum - the recruiting community has benefited from their hard work.

So David, when are you getting married???
