I know you are on your way over to the Cliff house for your second dinner but thought just in case you hadn’t left that in the last few seconds gold looked like it spiked up to $620 but that could have been an “Re: RE” [sic], now still “peaking” in Hong Kong trading at $615.40 – the DAAC taking no comfort in my relatively minor stone problem.

There was no green flash – we are having asparagus + spinach with lemon vinaigrette + soup that Marie made last night at the Stone Home – it was delicious – she says she will “try again” and get the rice perfect – if you are joining us then I will get some more salmon and Marie says, “Don’t wait until John is here.”

Marie’ says this photo is of a man who “nose his wine” [sic].

 

I’m currently enjoying a glass of Asahi beer – see Diamond Invention – [Aside from Oppenheimer, I [Edward Jay Epstein] also gained some insight into how he operated from his executives, whom he had treated as members of "one big family" as one of them put it. For example, Richard Wake-Walker, a young executive with the Diamond Trading Company in London, told me how he had been invited to Oppenheimer's game farm during weekends in South Africa. He recalled that Harry Oppenheimer would sit in his shirt sleeves on the terrace surrounded by various members of his family, executives of Anglo American and De Beers and a few friends. Everyone would drink beer. When an elephant or a rhinoceros would trudge up to the barrier in front of the terrace, a servant would throw a floodlight on it, and everyone would admire the wildlife.]

 

now waiting for the green flash over the horizon – sun 5 seconds from setting.

Even the DAAC seems unable to slow this inexorable rise.

 

Unfortunate that your enjoyment of the moment is tempered by the agony of your ongoing bout with the kidney stone(s).  At least the pain helps to keep you working far into the night to maintain the outpourings.
