Travel for March (31 flights) is finally over.

Now I hold down the fort while wife takes eldest daughter and mom on vacation.

Last night in Milwaukee at Wisconsin Club was my last speech of month to family-run investment house headed up by a laconic patriarch of North Dakotan birth. Last guy they had in was Charlie Wilson.

Very interesting discussion. Took owner's wife back just a bit after she lamented China's cultural assault on Tibet when I compared it to the fate of the Lakota.

Progress is as progress does.

Still, won her over with my PPT wizardry, which she took delight in due to her love of computing. She guessed correctly that I pattern my delivery on stand-up comics, but was surprised at how much I likewise study televangelists.

Naturally, my Packer ties impressed most.
