Nixon. Khrushchev.
A kitchen debate.
50 years ago it was drama and great political theater.
Give me six minutes of your time to watch this film. Great stuff. Smarten up, live and learn.

Thursday, October 29th, 2009On Shaking Hands
Thursday, October 29th, 2009I love to meet people and shake their hands. I do it at all of our games and at all of our events. At the Caps Convention, I honestly believe I shook more than 1,000!
I think for the next few weeks I will curtail some of my social interactions just a bit. One of our players has contracted swine flu and we were all lectured on how to minimize the issue.
We are being hyper vigilant now in all of our locker rooms. I think you can eat off of our floors and equipment. They are that clean and sanitized.
We must all be aware of this new flu going around. Wash your hands often with hot water and a good soaping as well. Here’s to wishing and hoping and planning that we see no more flu bug in our locker room and that Quintin Laing recovers quickly and gets well soon!
Name Dropping
Thursday, October 29th, 2009I was invited and had breakfast with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday in downtown DC. Several of my friends were at the small intimate gathering as well and we all had the chance to just listen to ”Mr. Prime Minister” talk about world affairs; the global economy; the Middle East; and politics in general.
I will be honest, I was blown away. He was so bright and so spot on in his opinions about the Middle East and our world economy. He is truly a “modern politician”. He gets it. He is a centrist and had a lot of energy and a very positive glow about him.
He was charming, funny and quite candid. And boy was he bespoke! He had on a shirt with three button cuffs and the nicest dress shoes I had ever seen!
It was an honor to be seated next to him and to listen to him hold court. He is of our generation as he was born in 1953. He answered all of my questions. He was unrushed and then he left us all to go to the White House and hang out.
We are so fortunate to live in Washington DC and get to meet the most interesting people in the world. And I don’t mean Mr. Dos Equis either. 
Stay Thirsty, My Friends

Words of wisdom. Get to know Jonathan Goldsmith. That is his real name. Check out the ads. So cool!
