Cousteau at PDX

Hello. How are you? I'm at the Portland airport sitting in a pool of sunshine reading about Jacques Cousteau. Things could be worse. About Cousteau: "He didn't particularly care about money as long as he had enough, and his chief financial tactic was simply going out and getting more cash when he ran out." That's good style. He was down for living only in the now—no rehashing things past or backward-looking. "The road to paradise is paradise," he said, quoting an old Spanish proverb.

Anyway, off to Aspen in 53 minutes, and officially "on assignment." Over and out....
