It’s only Wednesday and yes, I’m outta here already.  Now, you may be wondering why Chris is dumping out of SIBOS before the big Party … not my choice my friends.  I’m off to Hong Kong for another party. Sitting at Logan airport having a final Sam Adams, I reflect on this year’s SIBOS and…

I wondered how I could get Baby Spice into the blog, and finally the moment came this morning. Arriving early to hear Mr. Negroponte I bring my suitcase with me, because I’m flying out of here tonight (and missing the party, oh no!) and the hotel wouldn’t let me leave it there.

The WSJ got hold of a copy of Greenspan’s new book, due out Monday. Sounds a little mixed. The Ayn Rand devotee who played a partisan game in supporting skewed tax cuts by Bush, criticizes the Republicans for losing their one-time small government focus. One interesting point from being close to presidents – it seems…

Whew. Knew there was some reason I pay good money for my Journal subscription. Or subscriptions. When I called to complain about getting two copies a day they took action.
