EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY:
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA (1989)
I love this picture. Such fond memories of great people. That’s George and Betty, who were assigned with me to the American Embassy in Bucharest.

EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY:
GOLD STRIKE CASINO (TUNICA, MISSISSIPPI) — 2000
Note: As I mentioned in yesterday’s posts, I found another box tucked away inside my garage. It’s packed with hundreds of old photographs I haven’t looked at in years. Before I toss most of them away, in the coming weeks and months ahead, I’ll be sharing many of the most interesting images in this historical treasure trove and also tell the stories behind them, that is, if there’s something of value to share.

TAKING A HAMMER TO U.S. FOREIGN RELATIONS
In yesterday’s mail, I received a subscription offer to Foreign Affairs, which is an in-depth magazine focusing on U.S. foreign policy and international relations. Actually, it was a renewal offer, since my old subscription recently lapsed after many years. In normal times, a magazine offer wouldn’t trigger this Facebook post. But these are not normal times.

At first thought, Dead & Company playing inside the Sphere seems like a bad fit, perhaps even a betrayal of the counterculture cloak worn by the Grateful Dead since their beginnings in 1965 . Now well into seven decades of live performances, Dead concerts have always been known for their spontaneity and authenticity. Real instruments. Human voices. Nothing’s recorded in advance. Auto-Tune, pitch correction, lasers, and stage gimmicks are verboten. Yet, they’re performing inside the ultimate musical spaceship. Music isn’t merely to be heard, but also seen, and experienced. Somehow this clash of contradictions works. Call it balance. In fact, the Dead’s mellow style and laid back stage vibe makes for an optimal counterweight to the glitzy sensory overload encircling the entire venue.

COME TO THE FREE CREMATION DINNER SEMINAR!
If you’re of a certain age and live in a desirable zip code, you probably receive unsolicited VIP invites in the mail. These companies apparently know more about my health and finances than I do because they always seem to temp me with an offer that does have extraordinary appeal.

A funny thing happened yesterday afternoon. Marieta and I were driving to an appointment. We listen to XM Radio and the “Dr. Radio Show,” which is a 24/7 medical call-in program broadcast live from NYU Langone. Instantly, I recognized the day’s special guest’s voice.
Hey….that’s Dr. Michael Baden!

THREE-CARD DONNIE
Today, precisely and exactly 30 minutes to the second before tRUMP made yet another brain fart of an impulsive tariff announcement, something very strange started happening. For seemingly “no reason,” the stock markets started SOARING.
Think about it. The Dow exploded up nearly 2,000 points, up 5 percent. For NO APPARENT REASON. Nothing had been announced yet.
Hmmm. Insider trading, anyone?
HELLLLLLLOOOOO! WAKE UP, PEOPLE !
