    QOTD: “For Your Eyes Only.” My memory could be completely wrong but wasn’t that all about Greece and Cyprus? I think I’m a little off.

    Great speech in this episode, Gary. I’ve tried a ton of new things (and have managed to keep up with most of your episodes) because of you, and, no, I certainly haven’t always agreed. We bought several items from your book and there were definitely a couple that wouldn’t be in my top 101. But the agreements outweight the dislikes.

    QOTD: I am a lawyer and nerd, so “Cypres” reminds me of the “Cy pres” (pronounced sigh pray) doctrine in law. When the original objective of a settlor or the testator becomesimpossible, impracticable, or illegal to perform, the cy-près doctrine allows the court to amend the terms of the charitable trust as closely as possible to the original intention of the testator or settlor, to prevent the trust from failing.

    QOTD: the seperation of the island… whatever that’s called. And Haruki Murakami (I’m thinking wind-up bird chronicles but I’m not sure it’s that one).
