Metaphor for Life

I really like this song Woods It repeats the verse getting more complex and varied. And aren't we just trying to slow down time?

Nostalgia

A year ago tonight was a wonderful dinner in a perfect setting at North Pond. Last night was Coco Pozzi with the waitress who tried to fool us by bringing back the same wine after we sent it back. Two years ago was gladly missing the Superbowl in Charlotte and having room service instead and watching Goodbye Columbus.

Movie to miss. The Prestige Got it on NetFlix. I didn't like it.

New Music I like Bon Iver OK I admit it: I only discovered by reading the New Yorker. I am not all that hip. It would be fun to go to All Tomorrow's parties, which is a good Velvet Underground song.

Training for another half marathon so I am running 6 miles today in the cold. I really don't like the treadmill or the track at the gym.

Inauguration Day

It is a very happy day. I was actually teary eyes at points during the ceremony though not during the speech. I was somewhat offended by Rick Warren's invocation and all of the Christianity he injected into.Okay I know he is Christian but did he have to talk about Jesus as his personal savior? I don't care if he used the Hebrew name for Jesus, he could have been more non-denominational. I was happy to hear Barack mention "non-believers" but will Jews be offended that he paired Christian and Muslims, then Jews and Hindus? Lowery was better at the end but somewhat less than politically correct when he called Indians "red" and Asians "yellow."

Worth a visit when traveling to NY http://www.chelseamarket.com/ It is in the Meat Packing district where there are lots of good restaurants

What ever happen to?

Private investors backed out of their buying three lists and all they were left with was an intro to Chinese book that N. told them sold $3 million worth of business when it was really like 7000 units. They were all let go this week without severance. Joel and Laura were treated very badly – but he is OK and has another job lined up – N. wanted them to keep going with just this one book, but Joel and Laura decided to pull the plug because it made no sense to carry on a business for this one book.
