Passing of the Moment
It's the fifth anniverary of the peak of the NASDAQ, herald of that whole dot com thing. Damn, damn, DAMN but I miss those days. I had dinner with Rob Baum, a coworker of mine from Event Zero, my dot com adventure. (Relative to a lot of people, it was pretty mild, but still.)
Rob is such a funny guy. For some reason I find it really easy to start comic riffing with him.
