WIP a new program — The Hudson River Valley

Time for a new program.   This one will be about New York’s Hudson Valley.   I have a personal connection to it — born in Brooklyn, right near the mouth of the Hudson River — NY’s Harbor; educated on the bank of the harbor — Xaverian High School; then college on the opposite bank — Stevens Institute of Technology.

The Hudson River Valley has one of the most consequential rivers in the United States — if not the world.  It is a transportation superhighway, has canals, engineering, beauty, art, architecture, homes, factories, and history.  This program keeps getting larger.  There is so much to tell.

Probably it will be ready for 2027.

 

 

 

Have a Blessed Christmas and a Great New Year

2025 is coming to an end.   That might not be a surprise to you.   2026 will have the Semiquincentennial of the United States.   Semi = half; quin = five; centennial = 100 year anniversary.   (5*100)/2 = 250 year anniversary.  You probably know that.

Wishing you a Blessed Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, or no religions holiday at all for those who do not believe in God.

Wishing you a GREAT 2026 — and here’s a surprise.  it is the year when Whippany NJ turns 350.   My town.

Welcome to Be-More-Better.com.   Thanks for visiting!

We began with a book, then a second one.  The next is in the works.

We make videos — longer ones, and “shorts”.

We give presentations on a wide variety of topics, both live and virtually.  We have just released two new programs.  One is for fun, the other is more serious and will become a video.

All together, we hope our positive output is interesting and more importantly, useful.
