Re:

When you get serious about you life. i stand ready to help. There is little i can tell you , that you don't already know. however knowing and doing are not the same . I would encourage you to do. try . I can set a meeting with you and Dan. but i fear it is too dilettantish ( at least at the moment) . write, you do it well / how long will you stay on the east coast.

I understand and appreciate it. Of course taking a meeting with Ariely is premature and I would never suggest it. It's one thing to talk to someone like that at a dinner, another to waste his time. I have some ideas, I will take my trip to Germany to let them marinate. It involves going back to school. Enjoy the smarties.

And thank you.

school is a cop out, like waiting at a bus stop. waiting for life to come .. you are capable.

I know this. But isn't it a necessary evil? Can I be part of a meaningful conversation without any credentials? I told you, it's part of my reactionary streak to think I have to do everything comme faut. But my reactive streak makes me want to hang out in the gutter with showbiz yahoos.
