Hijacked by Jazz

G and I were supposed to have a date last night since of late she has been preoccupied and so have I and when we have seen each other it has been in the company of others. So we were going to have a steak at La Boca, home of L, man of mystery’s, food poisoning. I hesitated to go again, and L even asked why we were going there, but then thought I’d give…

Eli’s Coming

G put a name to what has been bothering me, us, lately. Eli’s Coming. It’s like waking up with this feeling of dread – like did I do something wrong? is something about to go wrong?

YAHOO!

The stock is up 5% in after hour trading because Panama went live today – but they did lower guidance for 4Q, something a client told me might happen because they couldn’t meet their full year numbers. I’ll take 5% rather than a poke in the eye with a red hot poker. I reached the height of multitasking today and thought I wasn’t going to break through to the other side when O, my co-pilot,…
