Touring regrets

Have been wondering for a long time why do retired people spend so much money touring the world. What good is seeing all this cultural monuments when one is one step away from the grave. Will they be able to take with them the wonderful images. And now, myself taking online classes at Coursera.

Claim to fame (revisited)

Decided to take a look at the Game Theory class offered by Coursera. Just to check if they changed the odds in the Prisoners' Dilemma. Figured out now, that my claim to fame (best ever MIT Harvard score). was due to my complete misunderstanding of the strategy. This explains everything.  Of of all those who know me, who would be surprised by that.

What part should I play?

Today, on line at Starbucks this thirty something man right in front of me was carrying a huge balloon.  It was floating right at the level of my head and as the guy was turning around, the balloon was knocking my head. What mask should I have put?  Was I supposed to be amused? or was I supposed to sternly ask this guy to watch  his parafenalia? Decided to cast a cold eye and order my grande....dark.
