The key to reading anything written by John McPhee is to take your time. The geology series aside, they are eminently understandable but so beautifully written that one does not want the book or article to come to its conclusion.

I don’t how many times I need to say this, but I will until the scourge is over.

Annals of anti-monopoly: Here is my review (critical yet appreciative) of Dan Schiller’s monumental history of 20th c. U.S. telecommunications policy. Schiller is particularly suggestive on the FCC in the 1930s, a neglected topic, and on consent decrees. https://t.co/mqt9qS3U2Y

#casestudy #businesschools I am teaching a business case study course for the first time. Undergraduate seniors,
26 class meetings per term. Can anyone help me in determining the optimum number of cases to assign? First time for the students as well.

“Starvin’” when you saunter through Stanton, Nebraska? Try the Wolf’s Den on Main Street. Expect big portions and sassy staff! Old school bar and restaurant worth the visit.

Hooked up a record player to my stereo for the first time in probably 20 years. I’ve been a CD lover, but am rediscovering some albums. This evening: Lee Zeppelin II. I am listening in particular to John Paul Jones’ incredibly tasteful and groovin’ bass lines.

It won’t last long, rest assured.

Today is one of those exceedingly rare days in the Inland Empire where it is pleasant to live here. The temps are cooler, humidity low again after a good gully washer passed through last night, light breeze, clear blue skies and I10 doesn’t sound like it is my back yard.

@valleymrk Lamentably we live in a society where few people under 65 understand that reference.
