By: Jackie Thompson jthompson

Jul 27 2012
Think of the sounds at a paintball fight. Splash, plop, thud as the rainbow of paint colors hit the targets. This was afternoon fun at the "Health Happens Here: Male by Birth, Man by Choice" camp.

What Does Freedom Mean to You?

By: Ellen Torbert etorbert

Since that day, Americans have fought hard for the many other freedoms we enjoy today. For example, on August 26, 1920, women won the right to vote... read more

I have a beautiful bouncing baby boy, who is now six months old.  At one of the baby showers we were given for him, a sweet woman gave me a beautiful knitted blanket and a roll of what looked like mini-paper towels.  I didn't understand what they were, and I almost didn't say anything to the woman.  She spoke up and told me that she wasn't sure if I was using cloth diapers or not... read more

It's a big deal when you get something new.   A new haircut, a new car, all milestones.  But WOW, we got a brand new plane! In my short fifteen years with the Company, I've seen some changes over the years, but this change is something special. This red belly plane is a little different from the norm (and a lot different in size). When I first saw it pulling in, I was so proud.... read more

Going Green: Stop the Waste!

Happy Green Tuesday!  As I have been walking past the printers here at HDQ, I’ve noticed a lot of printed sheets sitting in trays, much of it forgotten.  Did you know that according to the Environmental Protection Agency, each employee in a typical business office generates 1.5 pounds of waste paper per day?  That is a lot of paper!! There are several ways to cut down on how much... read more

Many folks know that Bags Fly Free on Southwest Airlines, however what you might not know is that this includes golf bags.  With the PGA Tour Playoffs (The Barclays in Edison, NJ) kicking off this weekend, just a pitching wedge away from EWR, we felt it was only fitting to let New Yorkers know that Southwest Airlines is the best way to their favorite golf getaway.  Whether it’s one of... read more
