Quick in and out--Beantown

Blew in yesterday around COB and home today around same. Hours spent with Steve and third party company on Enterra biz plan as we move forward. Big plans require big analytical guns of the sort located there.

Plus, I just wanted to commiserate with Pats fans over the combined fates of Brady and Favre.

I'm now four chapters through the book--almost. Closing in on 200 pages.

Picked up Woodward's War Within (good title) and Friedman's Flat, Crowded and Hot (I think each book forward should add one or two more adjectives, like some globalization drinking song). Will simultaneously read both and slip into Great Powers as applicable.

Last call for globahol!

Gonna be one quiet weekend.

Missed Kev's first two XC meets but will make his third a bit down the road. Each meet he drops another 20 seconds, picking up top-ten ribbons in these large meets of several dozen racers. I know that can't go on forever, but it's a joy to experience vicariously because it was years in the making and he deserves it. A special Packer game set for him...

Delighted you are reading Friedman's "Hot, Flat & Crowded" as I heard Charlie Rose interview him this week & planned on seeking your comments, which I look forward too in the near future as well as in "Great Powers" next year. Will send you my thoughts when I digest the book.
