NOTHING VENTURED

Nothing exists as a block and cannot be parceled up. So if nothing’s ventured it’s not just talk; it’s the big wager. Don’t you wonder how people think the banks of space and time don’t matter? How they’ll drain the big tanks down to slime and salamanders and want thanks?

Whoa … Citi going down?

I prefer pancetta to panaceas …

Looks like Paulson has taken at least one stance with which the A-Train shouldn’t have too many problems (if any), and while in many ways I disagree with the Train about how to fix the problem, in this particular situation I think we’re probably both on the same page.

Southern Accents

I’ve always really enjoyed old music, but I’m beginning to get scared, because a lot of the “old” music I’m discovering is from the 70s.

First, my friend Chris (he of Supersuckers management “fame”) up in Heber gets me hooked on Bob Dylan, to supplement my Johnny Cash addiction; and now I’m being inundated [...]

Cutthroat ‘Cross

Somehow, I actually look like I’m enjoying myself:

How many laps to go? [...]
