Tavis! Bon Voyage! I've enjoyed your posts very much. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors. And you should know that your April 1st post caught someone in your net. I was so brain dead from trying to wrap my brain around what are "mark-to-market changes proposed by the FASB" that when I skimmed your post I only mildly thought to myself "my goodness, that's a lot of important news in one day. Wouldn't it be difficult to make Gravity's Rainbow into a film? I guess they'll try anything nowadays. . ." Thank goodness Bolton clued me in, otherwise I'd be spreading misinformation all over the place. In return, I'll share something which isn't exactly a book into a film, but a defense budget into a film, enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktQOLO4U5iQ http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4331272.cms
