O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention. ~ Shakespeare, Henry V / New contact info coming once I’m happily overseas …

There’s an outside chance we might get into raising sugarcane. It just has its uses, and I would like to have first hand access to something wildly first quality. We’ll see on that one. That’s about it for now. But I did have an idea for an Italian golf/tennis equipment company.

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

In fact, there are places around the world I’d like to have a venture or two … because I just either find them interesting, or they tend towards the desired outcomes for one of my companies. I’m not certain if we’d base such companies in Latin America, China, etc or have them …

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

… remain as subsidiaries and therefore be technically Italian, or Spanish, or ??? Time will tell on that kind of aspiration, and I’ll share just a couple or few I’ve thought of already. Victoria Tobacco is a dream, to raise the cigar tobacco we develop in the Yucatán, Mexico …

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

I’d like to be able to offer someone - well, you my customer, that is - a world class smoke, with our own Vic Yucatán wrapper. It’s a dream and I’ll see how we can pursue it down to the strains, themselves - actually. We need places to source and raise coffee. Latin, Italian …

Within Impact Tennis, a proprietary surface manufacturer, will be the specialty of uniquely designed court complexes - think climatized indoor facilities, etc - to wed aesthetically with your home or office or new club environment. If you want a court in your backyard, say … ;)

I thought after my blurb earlier today about my rise to an entrepreneurial ambition, mindset, and life that I should “X-Out” a partial list of my planned companies, with their locations. That’s my new verb that I now use at times, rather than saying tweet. Just X it out there …

L'institut is my think tank for all things geostrategic and concomitant therewith, which I suspect folks will just call Perception - like the establishment on the ground floor for higher end Paris cuisine … Aesthetik is the newer name for a design firm, now including acoustics.

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

Impact Tennis is a company I’ve yet to breathe a word about that I plan to pursue with an old Texas A&M engineering legend, from back in my day - Dr. Walter Bradley. We’ll partner with Centrifica to provide court complexes, with the unique offering of proprietary carpet surfaces.

… but since it turned out to James Bonds, not Bond … well, I might just ask some friend in Dallas for a recommendation. I thought 007 had set up shop to handle my healthcare here in old Aggieland. But without that 00 cache … hmm, my doctoring can probably wait a few days. ;)

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

So I’m looking for a new doctor; one in internal medicine. (Basically I just need some slight high blood pressure meds, as that might exhibit once I get back to a full salt diet, etc. And I think it would be smart before I get back into the gym psycho hard core, frankly. And …

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

… so I’m at this local hospital and looking for someone in internal medicine. I found a couple doctors that seemed to fit the bill. And right above their names was this one - Dr James Bonds. At first I thought it just said Bond. I was like, ok; this can’t just be happening … ;)

Intellectual goals: begin work on my own translation of Xenophon’s The Education of Cyrus into EuroWestern English, from the original Ancient Greek; learn more about being a better chef while other people do more of the actual cooking; and finally learn how to good and dress. ;)

Going out on a bit of a limb … and calling this a premonition … College Station … ;)

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

That moment. When you realize. That the perfect Blackwood / Bear Claw Dreadnought you were convinced would have sold by now that you wanted like forever the fucking hell ago … is as of this moment, at least - Still. For. Sale. Yes, that moment precisely … mmmm … yes … indeed.

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

… to open a little watering hole, as we call them in Texas. That’s a bar, in common parlance - a rather fine one with cuisine that aspires to Michelin stars eventually … it’s to be called Dasvidaniya, in London … for cold black leather and tobacco smoke and vodka cocktails. ;)

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

So, one of my companies in Italy will be known as Centrifica Design/Build and Land Development …

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

More than a few of you out there understand what transpired years ago for me, but fewer realize how and why so much has changed. Firstly, when Trump started his rise in politics I was mostly just a realtor in Austin plus a songwriter with a few powerful friends in that world …

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

As anyone might infer easily enough, I’m not a particular fan of the Putin regime in the post Soviet Union today. I still remember the CCCP. I wasn’t a fan much of it either. I’m no Sen Bernie Sanders, basically. And my little effort to endorse this migration of finer minds is …

[Søren Christian Alan @sorenxalan]

… and I have an interest in discussing development; both land and economic, as well as cultural with a man I call CS Stoli - Ukrainian Pres Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as I have a few dreams for a post-war, victorious Ukraine. We need a haven for expatriate Russian counter-elites. ;)

… my real world experience in the States with a life in business in the EU, the UK, and beyond - eventually; what I have called the EuroWest, actually. Since a public conference of the Texas Lyceum over 15 years ago I’ve had a profound interest in economic development as well …
