Good story.

If AF is wrong inquiries as to his opinion as to what went wrong will likely be met with silence. Because that's what people do. There will be no feeling of shame. They ignore their failures and go on to the next thing to attack, because the best defense is a good offense. In this way, it's very much like politics.

OMG Regina that is hilarious.

Love Texas Hold'em and love the analogy... perfect.

RK: AF's gotta know when to fold 'em

The Gambler

RK - I thoroughly enjoyed that!

"The Gambler"
- Kenny Rogers

On a warm summer's eve
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us, he began to speak

He said, "Son, I've made a life
Out of readin' people's faces
Knowin' what the cards were
By the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind me sayin'
I can see you're out of aces
For a taste of your whiskey
I'll give you some advice"

So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his faced lost all expression
He said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep"

And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
And in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

You've got to know when to hold 'em
(When to hold 'em)
Know when to fold 'em
(When to fold 'em)
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

The makings of another best selling John Grisham novel called "The Small Biotech Firm". The only character missing from the table....was me;)

RkMatters: "Christened the new Danielle Steel in financial thrillers"

Very intriguing and cryptic portrayal!

And for those on the other side or fence sitters: IMHO one's inability
to follow thru on the deftly deployed cards played by CEO LP is one's
own fear of the uncertainty OR feeling she should have; could have etc.

RK - hilarious read! Thanks for the morning entertainment!

No beer in prison? You'd think that would be a sufficient deterrent for AF. Well, I guess some people will ingest grapefruit to spite their microbrew:) Terrific metaphors RK!
