500 Years to forget about Facebook? Can you name the big industries of 100 years ago? The members of the Dow Jones Industrial Average is what I am referring to. How about the stocks of the 1971 DJIA? Most of us were alive then. The only member of it is General Electric. In fact GE was a founding member of the 12 stocks chosen for the index. It is the only one that is not a subsidiary of other more successful ones. And times are changing faster now. 500 years? Ha!
Four teaspoons of sugar in a cup of coffee. Ah, what memories they brought back. In college, we would brew up a moka pot of coffee. Take that and mix in an equal measure of milk, or cream if you had it (which I did not), and then add an equal part of sugar. Stay up all night in the darkroom. Oh yeah. Those were the days. We called it Cuban Coffee. My moka pot was given to my father when he left Zenith Television.
I made it through the Stress Test this morning. When I arrived it was me and myself in the waiting room. This is a test with lots of pausing. Injections and a pause to allow the drug to dissipate through your body. Then 10 minutes of laying very still while a giant camera rotated around you. Meditated. It kept me still. Then more waiting time. There were four people in the waiting room. Then a choice between a treadmill or a chemically induced treadmill. After noting metropolol they opted to have me take the drugs. All I had to do was wave my feet in the air. They said some people feel like they have been in a marathon after the experience. Not for me. I just enjoyed chatting with them. Then back to the waiting room. A full waiting room and I was lucky to have a chair available. Advice: get as early an appointment as you can. Back for another 10 minutes of meditation and laying still for the camera to do its stuff again. Exciting day! Hardly.
I returned home and started in on my NaNoWriMo. I made it.
