And don't forget where your money's going (see below)My gosh, if they have that music blasting in the One World Observatory, I'm glad I'll never be going up there.by KenThere's a whole list of things I become increasingly aware I'll never do in this lifetime.

In the 1980s, a New Jersey tourism commercial featuring then Governor Tom Kean, Sr. made Kean famous for the tag line, “New Jersey and you-- perfect together.”Kean’s idiosyncratic pronunciation of “perfect together” made it a catch phrase, even a punch line in jokes, during his administration and beyond.
