Time for this one to go home! Sitting here in the lounge-having visited my father for the last few days, and headed back across the Atlantic and, sadly, back to work. Which I am confident will be unappreciated by our new Zombie masters. The lounge here is packed, which is more

The perfect mixture.
Australian voice, Asian body. A wood making machine for sure. Natalie Tran can have my baby…….except I can’t make that happen anymore. But we could pretend, right? Maybe she will develop an older man fetish…… Yea right. Go back to sleep, old man. Sigh.

On the road again-had a challenging journey yesterday to the other side of the Atlantic. To start with my ICE train to the Frankfurt Airport was going to be delayed by 90 minutes. That was a non-starter as it was going to make me late for check in-and my requisite

The most screwed up reorganization since AT&T split up, continues. The thought police have come home to roost and provide counseling. Guess who was one of the first ones called in to see them? This hits pretty close to home-since the personal dynamics of my workplace have changed dramatically and

Stock brokerage firm of Merrill Lynch founded. After almost a 100 years of existence and avoiding the fate of Lehman brothers-the firm was merged into Bank of America in 2013. ( The evil empire wins again!) Arnold Richardson, composer was born. So too was, Danny Thomas-later of television fame in

Phib, in one of his repeated themes, bemoans the fact that we did not give ourselves a chance to “succeed” in Afghanistan. “All it required was about another four-five years of patience. Of course, that 4-5 from now is based on an alternative history where we did not announce our
