I didn’t want another BlackBerry, I wasn’t signing up again with AT&T, and I definitely wasn’t going to go the T-Mobile route with Mytouch 3G because its coverage in my area of Northern New Jersey is absolutely abyssmal, as friends with T-Mobile phones that visit my house can’t get a single bar of reception and complain about coverage in Bergen County in general.

Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger – What a great guy!!
Sara Triggs of Madison got lost on her way to Ridgewood on Tuesday, but managed to be first on line to meet Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger at Bookends, and have the pilot of US Airways flight 1549 sign a copy of his new autobiography.
“He’s everything that’s good about the United States,” said Triggs, a mother of two.
The crowd waiting for Sullenberger had grown to more than 140 by the time the hero pilot arrived. He was met with a standing ovation and a few tears as people remembered his safe landing of the crippled plane in the frigid Hudson River in January, saving all 155 aboard the plane.
Sullenberger said before the signing that he had made a decision “to make as much good come of this notoriety in as many ways and as long” as he could. That includes being an advocate for aviation safety and charities he has been involved with for years.

West Side Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood is proud of the arts scene that is growing right before her eyes. The church, which was totally rebuilt after a devastating fire in January 2002, has become a center for both fine arts and music since its reopening on Easter in 2006.

"The arts can enrich your life more than almost anything else can" said Rodland. "We've always had a strong music ministry and with rebuilding there was a strong recognition for a place where the arts would be supported."
