    The renewed misery

    Last year I spent the month of Sept in the hospital----thus missing both the US Open (Tennis) and the UN general assembly

    This year I did well in avoiding the open, which is held in Flushing Meadows Queens.

    This week begins the UN dog and pony show--with endless cavalcades of black Suburbans running hither and yon creating grid lock for everyone else

    Being in the hospital wasn't all bad

    The U.N headquarters should be moved to Mogadishu.

    Have you been to "the city" lately? Getting closer all the time. No thanks, y'all can have it.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,

    That will never happen---there are no Peter Luger, Keens or any of the other favorites in Mogadishu

    The Peter Luger credit card was one of our companies most valued possessions.

    While a steak finished in boiling butter is pretty damn good, I liked Sparks better.

    Wait a minute...you mean these people who insist we all turn into vegans for the good of Gaia eat off the top of the cow on their own time? How could this be?

    They want to have a feeling of belonging
