  1. m4l, since you were AWOL last week, here’s the limerick I wrote about you:

    more4less loves a good deal
    For brownies, begs, borrows and steals
    As a wingman he’s great
    For a duplex he’ll wait
    And makes low ball offers unreal

    Now, kindly get back to wingmannig.

  2. Re France:
    I have always liked it & found people friendly whenever I have been there (same with Quebec).
    Don’t see France / its economy / its lifestyle having much relevance either way for the US, though.

  3. I believe in the upside breakout more each day but the “when” is elusive.
    I think the November elections will provide an optimistic catalyst. The new yet old infrastructure stimulus package is not going to help much, but the business tax credits will be supportive.
    And as the banks figure there way through the Dodd Frank bill that will free up capital for business expansion.
    In the meantime, the roller coaster continues,

  4. CGar,
    Just went into a mtg so just saw your above post – sorry for slow reply.
    Yes, I had a great weekend thanks, in Montreal for the first time ever. Fun place – lots of live music in the bars.
    You have spoken to my GC more recently than I have! Hope he’s doing OK in there. I’m back in there next a week from Tuesday so guess I’ll find out then!

  5. I totally go for dark haired women with strong features. Juliette Binoche is pretty much the hotness. Can’t be too skinny either. Gotta be either really athletic or what people euphamistically refer to as healthy looking.

    Frail looking light haired women with weak features are incapable of turning me on. I have honestly tried to be interested in women like that but it’s basically impossible for me.

  6. Re: Le Femme Nikita….Almost all my airport experiences are variations on the same: aggravation of some sort or other, where I just numb myself till I get on the plane.

    Once I had some problem or other (missed my connecting flight?) and was trying to get fixed up with an alternate flight same day. The airline staff person was very helpful in getting a flight leaving in only a few minutes and printed out some mysterious piece of paper with a highlighted line of code. “Just present this and you will have no problem”.

    I gave it to the ticket person at the gate and they quietly asked me: “Are you carrying?” “Excuse me” I asked? “Are you carrying a weapon”? I guess I got some kind of fast pass for US Marshalls, but preferred to think they had me pegged for a Femme Nikita.
