  1. @BeritEllingsen Well, what I mean is that it's easy to hide in Japan if you are Japanese,not some 210 cm Caucasian basketball player!
  2. @Berit_Private I do! And most Hollywood producers! Not that we have anything in common...!
  3. @BeritEllingsen Yes, but my guess is there are other Aum members still out there who helped...But it's not like hiding when you're 210 cm!
  4. @BeritEllingsen Yes, in hiding since 1995 (I just missed getting gassed as that was one of my regular rides). Easy (if Japanese) to hide.
  5. Sunday rounds in Waikiki to see China Uemura wahine surfing classic. All the local icons in place, pretty good day for a surf contest.
  6. 1 more down, one more to go of the Tokyo sarin terror group. Arrested a short train ride from my old home Chigasaki. nytimes.com/2012/06/04/wor…
  7. Waves pumping in front of @QueensSurf Cafe & Lanai in Kapiolani Park, Waikiki. Another beautiful day in paradise
  8. @leighblue The blue of the ocean and the need for risk management are two of the constants of the universe! Enjoy Honolulu!
  9. Great lunch on the beach in Waikiki with @Leighblue. Too bad the rest of you missed it.
  10. @Leighblue in the house today. Causing a lot of chatter in the nerd grotto that I don't have to eat at my desk for lunch.
  11. Respected Kumu Hula Manu Boyd lecturing before a big crowd at Royal Grove, Royal Hawaiian Center Waikiki right now. He doesn't need notes.
  12. @The_Analyst You're getting off easy. Must be your first visit.
  13. Number crunching on Chapter 14 of new edition of Advanced Financial Risk Management-parameter fitting for term structure models.
  14. @BeritEllingsen They are very wise and very lucky to have you!
  15. RG Steel files for bankruptcy: businessweek.com/ap/2012-05/D9V…
