Summa Cum Laude

I was at a dinner the other evening. It wasn't for me but I was there. It was held to honor lots of people who had graduated in the top ten percentile in their college graduation classes. There was  - as expected - a cocktail hour before the dinner and, by chance, a man and his sister came to sit with us at our table. The man admitted he had graduated by the skin of his teeth but he was there as his sister's guest and because he had put a video presentation together for the college. I noted that there were very, very few luminaries among the top ten. They were all successful people but nothing extraordinary. The guy who got the biggest cheers was that man who had sat with us and who probably graduated in the bottom ten percent. It is well-known that many super-successful people are often not the ones who succeed in school. This was no exception. It's not the teachers who matter; it's the pupils. You could name ten or twenty extraordinary historical figures but you could never name who their teachers were. It matters, but not that much. As the 1800 tequila commercial says, "enough said." 

LTNs and MTNs

Even though only five or six people will read this, it's worth mentioning. One never knows. Coincidence is one of the secrets of life so, if just by pure dumb chance, the right person were to stumble across this blog post, we could end up with something worthwhile to do. Be that as it may, I have a buyer ready to purchase LTNs (which MUST be on Euroclear) or MTNs. Of course, I am just the intermediary but you cannot get to the buyer without me. Thank you so much. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. 

Treasure in Santa Fe New Mexico

Nobody has said that they have found the Fenn Treasure in New Mexico so I guess there's still time for me to formulate a theory about where it is and go look for it. I just might be right. What have I got to lose? This is NOT breaking news so don't get excited. 

Why not an apple?

This is just an experiment - please be patient. This is a test. I have no idea how this will look after I'm done with it. So far so good, but then, the final product may look somewhat different. Time to post.... Here we go!!!!
