Empathizing with Saul Kripke right now. 🙂 I ought to give talks and interviews more. Much easier to get the points across in person when I can tailor the argument to the individual’s understanding.

Can you buy Borjomi or the equivalent in the States?
‘Cause I’m addicted to the stuff now.
(FYI: Think lightly carbonated water with salt. CocaCola products have a lot of salt in them, and that’s why Dasani water tastes pretty good. But Borjomi is much saltier. It’s the hangover drink of choice here in Kiev. Can’t imagine that it’s readily available in the states.)

OK. Today I went down the rabbit hole, and I don’t remember eating the cake, drinking the elixir or taking the blue pill.
Days like this just DO NOT HAPPEN in the west. They only happen in Kiev. And even in Kiev, I am not sure that it wasn’t my imagination. But I”m that that creative.
Life rocks ( at least when the IRS isn’t trying to ruin it).

That Flu did a number on my winter weight and now I won’t have to work very hard to lose a bit for summer season. Shaved my beard yesterday because the grey has really taken over.
Funny. Without the beard, I used to get mistaken for Paul Allen around Redmond now and then. Which always amused me, since Paul is about four inches taller than I am. We have similarly shaped faces, similar body language, and the same taste in eyeglasses. Same gene pool.
But, damn Paul. I’m aging waaaaaay better than you are man. WTF? Is it Hodgkins? Cigarettes? What?

(I’m slow. Painfully diligent and slow. I frustrate people around me when working on a theory. But I seem to pretty much always get there. It was a great day today. I’m confident that I will succeed in reforming or delegitimizing both misesian pseudoscience and rothbardian parasitic ethics. I can see it all working now. ……but… I need some chocolate cake.)

(personal)(music)
I am sorry. I know it’s an American thing. But i just love blues and blues rock. Gimme’ a little punk or grunge (soft-loud-soft) in there and I’m good. Make it hard an dark and it’s heaven. Take it operatic (Tool) it’s spiritual. When you sing blues it isn’t technical. It’s spiritual. You feel it, and either you make the audience feel it too, or you fail at it.
