Thousands of TV viewers in the tri-state area recently had Eureka! Moments, when I persuaded them that vanity plates are fascinating -- and fun: on March 25th, WNBC-TV's "Today in New York" broadcast a story by Cat Greenleaf, which featured me and four of the vanitizers (Ally & Rudy Masry; DONOR/DONEE and Emily and Jason Kingsley; RAFLPRIZ ) profiled in LCNS2ROM .

Ms. Greenleaf is a creative, articulate and joyful reporter; she demonstrated her storytelling talents by asking this GR8 question, "What does your license plate say about you?" Cat captured my passion for vanity plates, and how they allow motorists to tell the shortest of stories, in the most public way possible.

The "Today in New York" anchors, -- Rob Morrison, Darlene Rodriguez and Otis Livingston -- had their own Eureka! Moments, discussing Cat's story and the vanity plates that their colleagues have had, like this one: CMEONTV . (Cat's story can be viewed by clicking on the link on http://www.lcns2rom.com/mediacoverage.htm.)

This is so encouraging…and so much fun! Now, if only I could find a publisher for LCNS2ROM ….

I look forward to your joining me on my long and winding road to publication. I never realized how long that road would be, but I’m up for the journey and look forward to the destination. Keep an eye out for those vanity plates, but please, drive carefully and remember: EVRYBDY VNTYZ! (Everybody Vanitize!)
