I read an excellent article in the New York Times today and I highly recommend that anyone remotely interested in the state of the world, American politics, globalization and the balance of power read it.
The article is pretty long, but well worth the time. I don’t agree with all of the authors assertions or conclusions, but he is very much on the right path.… read more “Great State of the Globe Article”
Plato hosted the monday night dinner at his studio in the University District. He cooked scotch salmon. Scotch salmon is salmon with a scotch-based sauce on top of it. The sauce contained Drambuie (a scotch liquer), Johnny Walker Black Label scotch, creme fraiche, heavy cream, orange juice, and lots of other goodies. We also had a salad with kumquats and almonds and a balsamic vinagreitte dressing.… read more “Dinner with Plato: Scotch Salmon Recipe”

I hope tons come down all night.… read more “Snowing Outside In Seattle (Pioneer Square)”
Read this article on the New York Times written by Ben Stein. He claims that “trader realism” is the factor that is causing markets to go down or up- not any factors based on hard data. I think that he is actually correct, but only in the very short term and and not in the same quantity as he seems to believe.
I don’t care and have never cared about the Supersonics. I do not want to have to pay them more money out of my damned pocket so that their 17 fans in Seattle can continue to watch them.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, in 2006 a group of businessmen from Oklahoma City purchased the Sonics and began trying to move them to Oklahoma.… read more “Seattle SuperSonics Need To Shut UP!”
