Today Codie Sanchez made my email. You choose your hard... so please don’t complain. I’ve been in both, and I’m still deciding what to do next. I take my time, with no rush.

Not the smelly crap that they had when I studied in Paris… Nah… €15 billion of good trains. But someone forgot a small detail… The trains did not fit in many of the stations. You can think that those should be the basis… But no… Small details… Why bothering when we’re buying 15 billion of these things… The result? Around 1,300 platform...
Sometimes you receive funny comments and emails… Like… “Do I have to pay for a call?” as if until very recently there was not a time with no unlimited forfeits on your phone and you had to pay for EACH call… Look. I charge US$49.90 for a first call. Not enough to make me rich. At least not yet… and of course, not at that price. But the cost is still enough to make someone stop and ask: “Do I actually have a problem worth discussing?” Free calendars tend to attract three things: “Can I pick...
