Columbus Day Monday

A lovely time at FC and P’s wedding on Saturday!

Great seeing YC too, finally!

I’m trying to enjoy what’s left of the three-day weekend. Operative word on “try.”

I still miss Christopher Columbus, Action Figure.

I don’t usually read Paul Krugman’s columns in the NY Times, but sometimes I do. But, this is kind of priceless. My reaction to the news that Krugman won the Nobel Prize in Economics was “Krugman?!” – since the Nobel Prize sometimes goes to obscure and brilliant people, but not always to people whom one has heard of. Time.com’s Justin Fox (the Curious Capitalist blogger) notes that too – lay people know Krugman more for his columns than his day job as an econ prof – even maybe those Scandanavians who determine Nobel prize winners. But, still – Krugman is impressive, so kudos!
