Sorry for the lack of posting. For the last four days-if I haven’t been at work-dragging my ass around for eight hours-I’ve been in bed or forcing myself to eat. Finally ran up the white flag and found a doctor through my contacts at the Embassy. Appointment is tomorrow. It’

Back again
Greetings from sunny Bucharest! The city seems to have changed very little in a year. Got in late due to Lufthansa leaving Frankfurt late. By the time I got to the hotel I was exhausted. Slept for a while-then realized I needed to eat. So back across the street to

Greetings from Frankfurt Germany. I am transiting through here on my way back to points east. What am I doing here, you ask? Going here to work for a while-at least for the short term, while I work, search, and hope some things fall into place. Whether they will or not

Every thing is a new opportunity. That’s the current fiction I keep telling myself. Next week, I will figure out a new one to tell myself. Working on a short term unique and interesting thing to do-until the rest of this little drama sorts itself out. Monday, we get to hear

It is crunch time for a bunch of reasons I cannot go into right now. Mostly related to my @#$%^& Six Sigma course. ( Which blows with a capital “B”). But-it has been brought to my attention that some folks are taking issue with John Stewart’s statement that Fox News
Continue readingThe real criticism that should be leveled at the media.
Was explained very cogently yesterday by Jon Stewart, and ironically it was explained in the place where news goes to die-the Fox Noise Machine. If you haven’t seen this interview between Chris Wallace, you should. Its a tour de force take down of the people at Fox News. There are
Continue readingRIP Clarence Clemons
This is really sad. Any male of a certain age-who tells you he never drove his car fast with this song blaring out of the radio at about 90db-is lying. Clarence Clemons was the “power sax” player in Springsteen’s band and his sax playing makes this tune extraordinary. Rest in

To watch this video. Conan O’Brien gave the commencement address at Dartmouth this year. It is a great speech-the last 4 minutes really spoke to me. Take the time to watch it. If you don’t have time-just pick it up at about the 14 minute mark or so. ““There are
