Miscellaneous thoughts that keep me awake during the day (I sleep well at night - thank you)

1. I am very into Spiritual Healing - the stronger the spirits the more I heal

2. I want to meet the folks that coined the following word associations -
a. Raw Sewage
b. Dodge RAM (among choice oxymorons this is up there)
c. Outer Space
d. Meltdown (and why particularly there is no Meltup?)
e. Good Daycare

3. Is a 'Slap on the Back' better than a 'Pat on the Back'?

4. If Mideast (Jerusalem and general Arab Territories) is out there then how is the Midwest (Michigan and other Redneck Territories) over here? Should it not be adjacent but to the west of the Mideast? i.e. Europe?

5. Lastly - what's with the Q that people (somewhat famous) keep getting asked - "What keeps you up at night?" I say that is presumptuos. Lot of people work the night shift and are expected to be awake - as to asking that question to those that do not work at night is dumb - they likely are fast asleep during night and if not they are ill - they need to rest - else there is growing evidence that 40ish individuals are now keeling over.

Strokes (clearly the bad kind) and Heart issues are on the rise since people somehow have a deluded vision of what successful really means.

Not to mention that we could be expecting a big shaker (the likes that Japan saw recently) on the left coast of the US; which when it happens will keep us awake at night and day (then we will wish we had slept when the going was good).

Sleep tight folks!

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Cost of entrepreneurship

Last night I attended a guest lecture on the subject of disruptive technology and entrepreneurship.  Lecture was free but it was used as a pitch by the University that hosted it to attract new customers. The speaker was somewhat respectable fellow who happened to hail from India and spoke eloquently.   One of the key message was around how the professors in this university were ranked among the very best money can buy. Cost of the MBA program mere $110,000 and oh we also buy some dinner if you have late class.  So now the math is simple-  is learning to be entrepreneurial worth the cost of entry? That is assuming you end up being one.   What of those that do not?  or the ones that are not successful at being the entrepreneur?  Is that being a pessimist before even being handed the glass. What I found strange is that people will bet big money on the glimmer of hope that they might just make a entrepreneurial debut and hit it big.  The unive...
