Thanks, NYC, for making this Vancouverite feel at home, and you’ve really stepped it up with all the added thunder and lightning.⛈ 😂The skies were beautiful when I arrived at Penn Station - and good thing, since I’d already decided to walk to the hotel.
On a positive note, as I’ve watched the continually evolving view (or absence) of the Manhattan skyline on and off in the past hour, I feel much better about the fact that I won’t be exploring much until tomorrow, as I’m working to deadline for a client, on an article about governance in the world of venture capitalism. Back to the keyboard I go!

... and now a bout of architecture. The first time we travelled through DC’s Penn Station, the interior was being refurbished and there was scaffolding in the main hall. Now, that work is complete. Here’s the first of a couple of series of shots.

We were also in Virginia last evening. This was the first time I’d seen the US Marine Corps War Memorial. Made of bronze, its scale is impressive,with 32’ tall figures and a 60’ flagpole.
The sculpture replicates 1945 Iwo Jima flag raising as captured by photographer Joe Rosenthal.

@IAAP and National Harbor, Maryland, it’s been a blast! Thanks for having me give four presentations to your members from multiple countries, and for the friendships.
Here, an afternoon outing with Chrissy,

Another incredibly moving tribute, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. Again, this wasn’t my first visit but it takes the breath away each time. Seeing a group of fellows in their (I think) late teens visiting, I thought how closely their ages must be to many of those whose lives ended far too soon in war.

The Korean War Memorial in Washington, DC strikes me again and again, each time I experience it.

Despite the lightning strike you see in the upper right corner of this first pic - captured nicely by the lovely @ea2theboss - none of us was caught in a storm (despite a number of brilliant lightning strikes) during an evening tour of DC’s memorials and monuments. There were a number of conference participants in this group, including Gina, Ingrid, Jannie, Viola and more.

Friday’s sunset in National Harbor, Maryland - I’ve had the pleasure of being here to present on cybersecurity and IR4.0, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, to terrific career focused assistants who are members of @IAAP, the International Association or Administrative Professionals.
