Aww, come on, you don't need to stretch the definition for
us. We know you just want to post about CEO behavior. ;-)

Yeah, just like The Dave likes to post about SRC behavior. ;-)


WSJ a couple days ago had an article on this. His existing yacht (400+
feet long), he says is too big. when he comes into ports, he has to tie up
where the oil tankers are, the cargo ships, etc., because his yacht is too
big for the yacht marinas. So, the new yacht is going to be 260 feet long
and going to be built in Europe.

We all have problems. My canoe doesn't have those
problems, but it is a bit too wide to fit comfortably on
the roof rack so I had to build a couple of extensions.
Didn't need to have it done in Europe, just went to my
workshop. My problems and solutions fit my budget,
just like Larry Ellison's fit his.

I'll be glad to trade my problmes for Larry Ellison's problems.

Probably a law of
nature in there somewhere. :-)

Hmmm.... Maybe I should google on "Confucious say..."???

Cheers,
Russell
