Although my Canon Model A590 was a Consumer Reports 'Recommended Best Buy', it's a pitiful laughingstock next to Da Horsey and Da Kurt's smokin' hot, high-end camera equipment.
So, like Macy's' Kris Kringle famously sending customers to Gimbels for better toys, I direct you to MSV and The Hoboken Journal for better pics. Unless...
You don't want to leave me. Here. All alone. In the dark. Sniff, sniff.
First up, Jean Marie Mitchell gets sworn in with her
mom and son by her side.
Irene Sobolov gets sworn in, as proud hubby and boys look on.
Leon Gold takes the oath in his Prom Queen corsage
(aw... just kidding, Leon)
Rose Markle, being sworn in before the eyes of her loving
hubby and daughter.
Weren't those nice? Each swearing-in was following by a standing ovation...
Well, call it an almost standing ovation since each time, almost everyone was standing... except for... oh, never mind.
And there they are folks, our new School Board! Aren't they lovely?

Oh, you wanted to see who was in the audience? Sure, got those:

right side
Let's see... there's someone's missing in that crowd... the guy with the traveling art show, what's his name again?
OK so now you've seen the 'highlights', here's a dishonorable mention for the evening's singular, sorry 'lowlight': the disgraceful, mean-spirited words of Patricia Waiters.
Ms. Waiters began her speech with the proclamation, "I am not a sore loser", then talked the trash of a sore loser for her entire allotted 5-minutes. Surprise, surprise: her rant was generously sprinkled with wild, unsubstantiated accusations of election fraud. Par for the course for Ms. Waiters, but boy, did she hit bottom with her attack on one Board member's volunteer service in our community. Disgusting. So for that, I politely request that Ms. Waiters take the pink 'magic wand' she brought with her to the Stevens Debate, and use it to make herself disappear.
Kudos to Kids First Campaign Manager and parent activist Liz Muholland for going to the podium immediately following for a passionate defense of the Board member viciously attacked by Ms. Waiters.
There she is, the lovely Liz Mulholland, moments before she rips Waiters a new one.
Other notes: Nathan Brinkman, former mayoral candidate and Real Results camapaign manager, was there in a show of class and respect for the new Board members. Good for you, Nathan.
Mr. Brinkman is still angry with me for a post of mine that appeared on April 1st. Given that he is still upset with me after a whole month, I take that as a sign that my words cut deeply. So I would like to offer my regret for doing so. And I will take your word for it that you did NOT throw your friend under the bus.
What else? I met the ubiquitous Tim Carroll of The Hoboken Reporter, finally. Aside from the fact that reporters scare me, he's a nice fellow.
