We had a great neighborhood in Ohio with friends etc. I haven’t experienced that sense of community since we moved here. Why so cynical clotpoli?

Far from it. I think such antics build character. Fortunately, all records of my antics have been sealed.

BTW, howze the west coast tour going? I was just updating my snapfish room and came across pics from my trip to SF. My favorite wine/vineyard was Cliff Lede (yum). If you were still there, I’d have you ship me a case. I still have a bottle of Cliff Lede cab that I hope will last until after a certain event tentatively scheduled for late April.

Thx for the well wishes. Still hope to host the Brigadoon Fall GTG.

‘a high school hockey player for Wasilla High School, is not listed on the team roster for 2008-2009, and his mother wouldn’t say if he graduated. She said simply he’s no longer a student and any further information would have to come from him.’

“My clients know how I feel about Lennar. If any builder is going to surprise us, it will be Lennar. Stuart Miller is so well connected and so smooth, that he can truly sell ice to Eskimos, and retain an option on any water that melts off. He did it again. Today, Mike Corkery, of the Wall Street Journal, reported on Lennar’s latest win. If you do read Corkery’s article, remember . . . he does not report ALL the details, but just the ones that he selects. And even then, he has a way of putting together words and sentences, leaving out the real meat.

This time Lennar suckered in none other than Ross Perot via his Hillwood Development Company. No one can put homebuilder and land deals together like Stuart Miller and Lennar. No one. Once again, Lennar has managed to put together a deal that reduced their exposure and provides them with a back end.

So when my clients ask me why we are not shorting Lennar, this is a perfect example. Nothing surprises me with Lennar, other than the absolute stupidity of the folks that rope into these ridiculous land deals. Three cheers for Lennar. As for Ross Perot??? He’s just another sucker Lennar managed to dump on. He’s in good company with Morgan Stanley and CALPERs.”

If you think a neighborhood is an anchor for anything, you have a lot to learn. Most neighborhoods in NJ are a stage upon which people who don’t really know each other spend vast sums of borrowed money in order to impress those same people that they don’t know very well.

How about you and your family being its own anchor?

Why the hell are you even looking in Princeton?

Screw you. I’m an anarchist.

It will be something like a failed rollover of a relatively small issue, in a place like S Korea, that will start the gears of doom in motion.

Good luck with the closing tomorrow!
