The Black Swan

Thank you Kate. This book was compelling and difficult, and I am glad to have read it. Finally, and quite unpredictably, I've found someone who talks about the real world AND what is outside the box others consider the universe. I have more questions after reading Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book, the way it should be.

Off to School

Yesterday college started for our family. Great, and early, morning trip to NYC. Great move in, student helpers carried everything up to the fifth floor room. Great room setup and a very happy freshman class, including their parents. Another chapter has begun. We even had a good ride home concluding a long and monumental day.

1000 miles since Jerusalem

A milestone of sorts. This morning I passed 1,000 miles on my bike since leaving Jerusalem on the Israel Ride 2007 bike ride.
