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
Continue readingWhat, me worry?
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

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

And putting together a plan of sorts-in the short term at least, I could at least have a lot of fun riding the roller coaster to career oblivion. Then again-maybe not:
