Victorious Darwin

In case you haven't heard, Darwin advanced to the finals in the West Coast Sustainment race. Big win for "little" Darwin.

Henry Ford said, "If you think you can, or you think you can't.... you're right."

I've been witnessing the inherent truth in this quote for my thirty year business career. Hence, I never harbored any doubt that the Scandinavians could be handled. To be a player, you have to act like a player.

Doomers and Gloomers, Naysayers...FYYFF's!!!

Darwin will open some eyes in the next twelve months, causing much denial and angst with the stupid company that squandered its chance.

Living well is the best revenge.

Fire in the Belly

Primitive Tribes in Africa believe that human beings think from their abdomen.

Have you ever noticed that when you are really "on", really "in the moment", really concentrating... your mind is almost blank, and you have a churning in your stomach?

Any time I have ever been "on a roll" in business, this has been my experience.

Weekend Plans

Hundreds of Nanepashemet Peeps have emailed me today, wondering about my weekend plans.

I have to admit that I'm tired, having once again proven myself as the superior wireless prognosticator while constantly maintaining a humble and demure demeanor. This would sap anyone's strength, and I"m no exception.

I'm no Superman, no Einstein, no Stephen Hawking...

After all... I am just a man..... no better or worse than the lesser beings that surround me.

2nd letter of John to the Darwinians

"Have faith my brothers that the purveyors of Swedish Meatballs hold no sway over the land. Walk freely in the knowledge that you are strong in the eyes of the singular one. Do not fear to bet the finest single malt in a feeble attempt to prove your losing positions."
~
"You have seen that Nestor is wise and clear in his admonitions and forecasts. Now also know that he is humble and just and will not stoop to ridicule your past assertions and inaccurate representations. You continue to be welcome in his presence."

Nice Milestone Today...

... for Operation Moonshadow.

The Stramski Affair.
Lots of moving parts.
Could be an interesting chapter.

Tempus Fugit

Time Flies.

Dimatteo has been at Darwin for two years today. They gave him an ice cream cake, and he was suitably humiliated. It was great. I have a photo of him with the cake but I lost my bluetooth USB adapter and I can't load it from my Nokia yet. I ordered a USB cable from Amazon and will post the pictures when I get it by the end of the week.
~
In the meantime, visualize Tom with a perplexed and disgusted look on his face with the cake in the background.

There is a theory that time passes quicker for adults than for children. I think that this is so.
~
Time is so relative. When I was a runner, the four + minutes that it took to run a competitive mile race seemed like an eternity. But now... sitting, and watching a running event on TV passes in moments.
~
A ride to New Hampshire for two hours seemed like an eternity when I was a little kid. Now, an hour drive doesn't seem like a haul at all.
~
A week's vacation from school seemed like an eternity. Now the week's flash by so quickly.
~
I'm not up to postulating a theory as to why time appears to pass quicker now.... it just does.

It will be nice to pass some water under it in the meantime.
