W. Buffett slept here

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

-Your comments on the biking post cracked me up. Sore rears and climbing hills outside of Châlet-à-Gobet (the highest point in Lausanne) and all. Come on over for a ride.

-Last night the mighty Manchester United beat the London club Chelsea to take the Champions’ cup, the European "Superbowl" of football (soccer). The final went to overtime, a shoot-out, and even extra shots in the shoot-out. I thought it would never end. Some of those players were in more than 70 matches this last season. Incredible. So football is over (till the European Cup, June 7!).

-My Irish buddy here works for IMD business school. Two days ago the school welcomed Warren Buffett for a conference. (I wonder how much he charges?) Anyway, my Irish buddy was the interviewer for the Education Network that he runs for the school. I tried to watch the webcast but RealMedia always rebels on my computer. (What’s the deal with my Mac and Real?)

So what question would YOU ask the richest man in the world?

-Wife and I attempt a 10K Friday evening in nearby Pully. A start, three laps, then a finish. I’m determined to make that finish!
