...saying that one of the best judges of success is past success. In terms of the trendy world that is Harvard Square, there are some dining establishments that seem to have outlived many of their less-successful competitors. Casablanca, Charlie’s Kitchen and Grendel’s Den have been in business for decades. Patrons at these Cheers-esque restaurant-bars are dressed-down rather than dressed to impress...
...hard to be a good host. You're supposed to ask how the guests' families are, offer them something to drink, commiserate about their long drive--but all you really want to do is show them what you've done to the den, bring out the wedding photos, brag about yourself just a little bit.

And when that didn't fly with the committee - and it surely didn't - Skilling merely pled more ignorance that Enron's house of cards was ever going to fall...
...floors as I feel woefully ignorant of the technology of this important art.” Anne Brown had a great eye for color, and in addition to blue floors, she installed red tiles, glass and formica in her bathroom, red blinds, white walls and blue floors in the den and she used rose-colored lightbulbs in the stairway. Unfortunately, the exhibition is so concerned with maintaining the minimalist aesthetic of the exterior of the house—only blond wood and titantium frames are used against grey walls in the exhibition—that the small blue floor...
