Private Parts

Today we are faced with a dilemma.

To those that think it is a dilemma.

Every time a person stands for high office he or she gets scrutinized.  Most times than not the lead contender gets slapped with the most basic and yet poignant accusation.  He or she groped me.  Reached into my privates and violated me.  Mostly it is a man doing the groping.  Of a female.

Biden is up for nomination of the Democrats.  He is also facing this ultimate test.

Trump for his part was caught on a hot mike discussing explicit behavior he would recommend when in the company of the opposite sex.

We all know about Clinton and Kennedy and many many more in all the spheres of influence.

But amidst all this Me Too coverage I find something more fundamental not being discussed.  Is America's moral compass completely and utterly broke?  Can it even be repaired?  Is THIS OUR NEW NORMAL?

At this point if this is the best we got are we really the Best Place To Be?

Add to all this with the embarrassment of riches (the trillions our Fed can print) and the capricious behavior from our commander made evident with the Covid shellacking, I cringe every time a politician or business leader or media air head goes on live TV to say we are the Best Country or the Richest Nation on earth.

WTF does that mean?

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...
