attended a july 4th bbq yesterday, populated by lots of kids and adults from all over, but mostly non american

wine flowed, champagne copious, meat outrageous, hosted by aussie who works at big american financial house of usual suspect category, with korean american wife

their tom boy daughter, a few months older than coconut, is erita's role model

most of the guys in attendance worked for the bulge bracket category financial houses with some exceptions of small biz types who worked on own a/c

(i) all are agreed that asia is the place to hangout for 5-10 years

(ii) all report severely stressed colleagues back in nyc and london

(iii) all are agreed that the worst of the systemic risks are done with even as the real economy must bear and grin with the shagging that must still be

(iv) some reported united front approach amongst the houses to push for self-regulation to head off the worst of the obama initiatives

the sincerity was touching, almost made me want to sign a check in support

and then i woke up to the reality, that the great evil that corrodes the very fiber of savings and each strand of thrift is alive, doing very well, and intends to do better still, for as long a time as possible, until the revolution

or, as my daughter now says while messmerized watching dada do battle riding a manta hover scooter



... "dada, enemy dark walker coming"



i have got the coconut believing, for the moment, that all the gaming is preparation for the real eventuality when nanoblack spewing invaders this way cometh :0)
