Seeing Falcons play Monday Night Football at the Dome – cool! Seeing Matt Ryan and co. beat Peyton Manning and co. – awesome. Being there with the whole team from office – priceless!!

It was mostly talking and chatting. Far less swimming. With the Bhaduris from Knoxville..Adult time in the pool.

Great hour and half of Bengali songs with Nitadi and Ranjanda. Played the tabla (Indian drums played with the fingers) with the songs. Today’s favorites included Ramkumar, Nirmalendu and Amar Pal!! — with Sharmila Royand 2 others.

Wonderful dinner in DC with “Bud” Budhu. The third leg of the trio – “Mitt” Mukherjee was badly missed!!! — withBudhendra Budhu Bhaduri and Amitesh Mukherjee.

Last week, my friend Roger Whitney said something that made a big impression on me. He said, “you make your wealth by working. You invest to protect the wealth.” Implication being if you are trying to be rich from your investments, better make that your full time job!! — withRoger Whitney at Key Bridge Marriott.
