The surgeon for JR's bypass this Wednesday is Dr. Cusimano which also happens to be the name of Tony Soprano's personal physician. I can't decide if this is a good omen or not.

If you have children trying to get into Georgetown, then yes.

For those following, JR had a triple bypass this morning. Surgeon is pleased and it all went well. He'll be in Cardiovascular ICU for 24 hours or so, so they sent me home to sleep.

It's been an adventure which included 4 days in the CVICU but JR came home today! He's recovering well and is his usually grumpy self again!

I forgot to add that he came from the hospital with blood and maple syrup stains on his robe. And no invoice or bill. How Canadian is THAT?

Are there any financial reporters here who cover New Markets Tax Credits? If so please send me a PM. Thanks.

Does anybody cover tech and know about destination metrics re: using pingers to track cell phones between geographic locations?

I read this this morning and identified completely:

"Being an adult is only an illusion. When it comes down to it I'm not sure any of us ever really grow up. We simply grow taller and hairier. Sometimes, I feel amazed that I am allowed to drive a car, or that I have not been found out for drinking in the pub.
Beneath the veneer of adulthood, beneath the layers of experience we accrue as we the years march stoically onward, we are all still children, with scraped knees and snotty noses, who need our parents ...and our friends".

Excerpt from "The Chalk Man" by C.J. Tudor

Closing in on a milestone birthday, your post rings true, HC.

I feel like I've Benjamin Button'd life. I was such a stoic, serious child that I've decided to be more child-like the older I get.

Hairier?

Hairier?

British novel.

For the first 44 years plus of my life, I've never liked pancakes. Put it this way: If the parents made pancakes (which they do EVERY. ****ING. SUNDAY), I would never eat them, no matter how much Dad 2 would try to get me to.

For whatever reason, I decided to try making this recipe I found online for pancakes for one. Loved them. Then I found a recipe for banana pancakes and I fell in love with them.

I guess now I dislike pancakes unless I make them myself.

Now add blueberries!

And whipped cream!

I'm not exactly sure what she does, but my wife's chocolate chip pancakes beat any I've ever had in a restaurant. I don't even use syrup on them.
