These kids and their damn MTV

As I was watching and listening to the inauguration yesterday, I couldn't help thinking about Jon Favreau (not the Iron Man guy, though same name). He's Obama's speechwriter, and he's 3 months younger than I am. So remember, if you're feeling satisfied with what you've done in life at any point, think of Jon Favreau.

    Or, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is only two days older than I am.

    Yeah, man...I remember reading about the guy and felt really rather small. One recurring theme in West Wing was that both Sam and Will Bailey were far too young to be as accomplished as they were. Talk about life beating the crap out of art.

    On the subject of WW and speechwriters - I must have listened to this a hundred times since the Mumbai attacks. The city rose rather well to master that moment, I thought.
