The herd mentality or how I gave up counting Margaritas
I’m standing on the curb waiting for the walk sign. About twenty other pedestrians of varied sizes and pigmentation are patiently waiting beside me. Now there are no cars in sight and I know that if I cross now at least half of these law abiding citizens next to me will cheerfully follow suit. A few years back I spent a few months running a tourist restaurant. A tourist restaurant is a place where buses of tourist groups are huddled in and out, fed with mediocre food and persuaded to buy stupid souvenirs, all in less than thirty minutes.

Bad is good for you – the bright side of the depression
A new survey from the University of Michigen has concluded that financial landslides may be bad for your pocket but they are good for your health. I will repeat that – bad economy is good medicine.
As a result of checking financial events like the great Wall St. fall of the 30′s the survey found that during the depression the life expectancy rate rose by an average of six years and the mortality rate due to accidents and disease dropped acutely. What was really interesting were the conclusions regarding why. It would seem that in a depression people drink and More >
Facebook Shmasebook – Give me a Break
Six things I love about facebook ( I meant to write ten but then I got distracted)1. People I haven’t spoken to since kindergarden all want to put my birthday in their calendar. Due to this innovation they can send me great virtual presents such as juicy lolly-pops. 2. Poking. Ever since a girl with pigtails and a brace on her teeth used to poke me with her ruler in third grade I’ve really missed this activity. 3. Knowing who my friends friends are. When bored there is nothing more stimulating than discovering that Patricia Longgone (no I don’t remember where More >

Adventures with a taxi driver
I’m a commuter, something I’m not ashamed of. Among other things it gives me free time to write this blog. Most mornings I catch a taxi to the station. I’m not much of a talker in the morning, but some of the drivers fail to appreciate this. It is a major achievement that during a seven minute journey the driver can tell me the complete story of his life down to the most minute and personal detail. After such a journey I know why he has been divorced three times, how much alimony he plays and the amount of abortions More >
What’s it all about?
When I was at school the poem that had the most influence on me was The Road not Taken by Robert Frost. Everybody makes decisions in life, many at a pretty early stage, and these will often control the rest of your life. I spent four years working at an Investment House in New York and it was there that I became friendly with a couple who’s behavior and politics in life were very different from our own. I’ll call them Joe and Marty in order to protect the guilty.I had been brought up to believe that what was important More >
