A book I read a while back said that PIs on stakeouts are like taxi drivers: they know the location of every public toilet in the city.

True?

The message I meant to transmit with my book title, was that

grown-ups

(or boomers) are to blame for enabling risk-seeking millennials to treat the stock market the way they do.

Baby boomers were born around 1946--1964. The stock market was around for decades before then. You may recall that it crashed horrendously in 1929, wiping out millions of investors. Boomers have exactly NOTHING to do with how millennials treat the market.

A long, long, long time ago you played a concert at Duke University (I missed it). My girlfriend called me and said you'd be doing a free show at the coffeehouse later that night. I dashed over, picked her up, and we got great seats at a table near the stage. And we waited, and waited, and waited. Apparently someone had said you would do a show without asking you first. Finally, after a couple of hours, you and your band showed up and played for over an hour, including some new stuff that you were working the kinks out of. You were even kind enough to sign autographs afterward, though I know you were dog-tired and had a plane to catch. That was one of the most amazing displays of generosity I've ever seen---and a kickass performance to boot.

Are you so gracious because you're Canadian?

Soft brush first, then wipe.

Astrophycicist? Ooooh.....that has 5 syllables.
