At least two interesting people in today's Sunday NY Times caught my attention.

Elizabeth Tashjian, 94, who collected nuts.
I'm glad that her collection was saved, that she lived a long life, and even that she got a little fame, if not fortune. I don't think I want to be remembered for this sort of "lifetime achievement" however.

Stephen Bigari who had such a different way of thinking about his McDonald's franchises that he got to be a millionaire, start a foundation, and be nominated for the Nobel prize in his 50's. Wonderful "Big" ideas.

Now if only they had put nuts in McDonald's hamburgers... We all need a hobby! BTW, I answered your Q...

I love a hobby that dovetails with life's necessities -- like protein. Maybe we should think about starting a chocolate collection? :)
