Listening in yiddish
I am not always sure I enjoy listening to klezmer music in yiddish ...its not a language I speak, about a world that really doesn't exist anymore (no comments needed on this), in a musical style I am not always sure about.
But like most things in small doses, with a good translation in real-time, it's OK

So sometimes, the things that are important are the ones you don't expect (reader are reffered to the book about Black swans and unforeseen risks)
Egypt may well be Obama's 9/11
His ultimate test of leadership.

CER PCORI Methodology committee
so they announced the PCORI methodology committee - congrats to them. I always knew it was a ong shot to get on that beyond the nomination.
Now need a new second act.
I got some views of transparency and as usual, the going is more than the getting.
Congrats to those appointed - we need you.

Thinking of you/Thinking of Haman
I have been thinking about haman. What is his crime, why is he so bad?
But then, other than plotting to kill the jews, what else does he do with his time?
chief minister to the King, but how does he spend his time?
One thing we do know is how he boasts to his wife, family and friends how important he is...going to meetings with the queen and king. at least he is recorded as doing something w3ith his time (see Pharoah about increasing work so as not to leave time for diversions and time to think[always dangerous])
Reminds me of some hospital officials I know...telling me who they met with, who they hang out with-the implication of importance hanging in the air; you are worth less since you don't hang with the same crowd, etc.
Of course, look what happens to poor Haman in the end. is this what boastfulness gets you?
sic transit gloria mundi.
at least haman lives on in our imaginations.

Obama sounds tired
Not what you think, that hiss message sounds tired, which it may be getting.
Rather, laying in bed in the early morning listening to WCPN, his vocie from Mumbai, Indonesia and Seoul sounds slow and tired, possibly due to extreme psychosocial stress complicated by somatic time phase shifts associated with prolonged time zone adjustments. Michelle looks out of sorts too-angry, sort of. where are the kids?
