RE:

in seatle, for two days then back to santa fe. come visit

I would love to visit. I'm crazed. Did an oil and gas deal (backing a team to build a company) and working on a deal which if it goes through and I tell you the sector, I will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Now is Aspen with Aspen Strategy Group. Just listened to Diane Feinstein, Madeleine Albright and Kay Bailey Hutchison talk about Egypt and Iran. Drivel, complete drivel. Angry Birds has more depth. Meeting with Steve Hadley (who is the real deal) and Madeleine in the morning. They want to pick my brain about Iraq. Made two great hires at TPO and one totally stupid hire, dumb, devoid of all thought on my part. Still thinking about trying to get ahold of a non-business platform that would be fun. Maybe in the area of international relations. Need to figure this out. Going to UK next week for Margot's mom. tjp
