Another winner in Del Mar
<start_procrastinating/>Another winner of a day in Del Mar…”where the turf meets the surf”…5 weeks until the boston marathon and training has GOT to pick up…CTIA is next week, need to lock down the meetings now…Loved the new book by Michael Lewis “the big short” and tried to get it on my Kindle, but not yet available…while I was at it I saw how easy it is to publish your own book at the Kindle store….and while watching the oscars a week ago I kept wondering why the film is called “Precious based on the novel “push” by sapphire”? huh? how about “Up in the Air based on the novel ‘up in the air’ by walter kirn” and “The Blind Side based on the novel ‘the blind side’ by Michael Lewis” etc., why does this book author get to be on the title of the movie, in addition to the title of the movie? so I looked into it and discovered that there were two movies called “Push” at the sundance film festival: one of them a science fiction thriller with, among others Dakota Fanning. Ok, so they called the movie “Push – based on the novel by Sapphire”. OK, but why keep the lengthy appendage when the name was changed from “push” to “Precious”? Was this Sapphire’s idea?
When I asked my friend Greg Matherly how to shorten the time in long distance bike ride (the Furnace Creek 508 – which he has done twice) he replied “stay on the bike as long as you can”) I need to get back on the “bike” now and get some more work done…</end_procrastinating>
