The most interesting aspect of the match so far has been the complete ineffectiveness of both players, especially Carlsen, with the white pieces. Fabi finally broke through with real winning chances in the 8th, but the black pieces have mostly been in control all match. I wonder if Magnus’s strategy is to grind out…

Trust the Brocess

I have the softest of soft spots for the 850. My parents bought me a 1990 240 as my first car, and I drove it dutifully (and slowly) for a few years. When I was in college, my mom bought a newer Volvo and her ‘96 850 was passed down to me. Coming from the 240, the 850 felt like a rocket ship. Her/my 850 was that…

In a place that none of us like but all of us have, way down in the cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the sub-cockle, some of us secretly enjoy Goliath stomping on David’s heart. It reminds us that there’s a natural order to things. When up is down and down is up, sports can be there to remind…

Pretty pretty please

This was and has been my thought exactly. Entrepreneurs who are running businesses are either earning dividends (cap gains) due to their ownership in that business or drawing income due to their work on behalf of other owners in that business (or in some cases, like you point out, both). Fund managers deploying…

Title NEIN

“Couldn’t afford a car, so she named her daughter Alexis.”

This was unexpected for the first game of the year as the offensive line typically waits until the second half of the season before letting their teammates down.

The last time such violence was doled out by a Cane, Ray Lewis lost his best white suit.
