Our helmsman decided to pass on yesterday's workday tidbit... So we focus on this breaking day:

"When faced with the big decisions of life, choose the path of variety: You're asked, 'Paper or Plastic?' Answer - 'Marsupial Pouch, please.'"

Wed. guest quote

Today, our esteemed associate suggested we share a quote from an all-time sports great.

So-be-it...

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life.

And that is why I succeed."

-- Michael Jordan

"While 'A Penny Saved' may well be 'A Penny Earned,' Ben Franklin might have postulated in today's economy: A Fed fiat dollar created out of thin air, leverages over 100 inflated dollars

More about our principle contributor, The Honorable Kyrklynn S. Pock-McKoy M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., Esq., in his own words:

My friends and colleagues call me K-Pok. I grew up a prodigy student in Davenport, Iowa. Childhood was boring until I got into rock n roll in the fifties, then graduated with a B.S. degree from the University of Dubuque at nine years old. I received my first advanced degree at eleven, an M.S. in Analytical Physics from The University of Chicago. I interned at Huntsville, Alabama for NASA during the Mercury Space Program while finishing up my Ph.D. in rocket-propulsion research, ultimately attained from Stanford University. I then lied about my age to enlist in the military, where I became a field medic in South Vietnam. I witnessed many civilians on the outskirts of Saigon and Buddhist monks mistreated and killed unjustly. I plunged deeper into medicine to help the Vietnamese and studied the eastern philosophies. As a way to disconnect myself from the problem, I admitted my young age and received an honorable discharge from the military.

I attended Tokyo International University, studied Buddhism and eastern medicine, then lived in a Zen Buddhist monastery for four years to help heal from my military experiences and come to peace with myself. I returned stateside to enroll in Harvard Medical School to go on to become a surgeon with a specialty in eastern medicine. I set up practice in Des Moines, Iowa and thrived in my field until President Nixon took the country off the Gold Standard in 1971. Since my partner in the practice had much invested in the fractionalized currency and monetary system and our PC was intwined in legalities and torn apart by the courts, we had to close our doors. This chapter of my life closed and I was angry and swore this would never happen again. I plunged into the study of economics, the central banking system maintained by the Federal Reserve and the legal system. I returned to Cambridge to immerse myself in the Department of Economics at Harvard University and attained an M.B.A., as well as a legal degree from Harvard Law School. For several years thereafter I worked in the field of bank regulation reform and helping to empower grassroots organizations towards developing community economic independence within Constitutional Law. I received some recognition from many colleagues in my varied fields of study.

In 1999, I was invited to bring my specific skill set to a small community of scientists in and around Antarctica. Recent years have found me on The Southern Continent, receiving the title of Envoy, shuttling around outposts in this international community, working on projects of a sensitive and classified nature, and doing my best to evade internet search engines.

So, why do I now expose myself in this public manner? After lurking for several years in the background of this creature I helped create, I feel it's time to stretch a bit and let out a few pearls of wisdom along with scant hints of what's going on behind the Wizard's Curtain...
