I would not be able to have the same dream.  I did my grad work at Caltech, and I don't think that they will ever make it to the Rose Bowl.  I liked Stanford a lot when Harbaugh was the coach. :)

I am a big fan of Hayek (and Thomas Sowell).  I have the same issue living near Seattle (and previously San Francisco and LA).  I'm definitely an outsider with respect to economic philosophy, among other things.

I miss Zingerman's and the Blue Nile.

What do you do in Ann Arbor?

FYI, Brooke, I took the wife and daughter to Blue Nile just an hour or so ago. You'll still see the Ethiopian owner there every night, acting as host. The lamb and spicy chicken is still kick in'. The worst part - and file this under tmi - it takes two showers to lose the smell. We go there about twice a year... Best tea, ever.
Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.

Mmmmm.  I love that place, including the incredible tea.  My favorite is the all-you-can-eat platter of everything . . . and tea!  :aok

For smell . . . many spices and aromatics (such as from onions and garlic), after you digest them, are in your blood.  So, you can't wash off the smell.  It is with you until your liver metabolizes it. :)

That's the "Ethiopian feast" which sounds like an oxymoron. That's what we always get but we add the lamb and salad. My wife is a big fan of lamb, the best of which, our experience, you can get in the odd little corner called Iceland. Anyway, I reckon they've got a good business model, based on that menu. It takes all the complexity out of their cooking. You make ten pots of stuff every night and get good at it. Everybody orders the feast. The kitchen knows what to do and just adjusts the volume based on experience and night of the week.

Anyway, if you're ever in town, dinner at BN is on me. Just let me know. You can probably teach me some tactics. I think I've mastered the 109 dive, fire, zoom, roll, dive repeat routine against turnier birds with an alt disadvantage but could use a little help learning to reverse the situation against mr. Spitty when he's co-E.

That's a very kind offer, and I appreciate it.  I'd love to meet up with you if I visit Ann Arbor.  I'm not sure if I can teach you anything special, though -- I'm not at the level of Bruv, Latrobe, DrBone, etc.
