I have been speaking to my Muslim and non-Muslim friends about the ground-zero mosque debate (and the current "Burn-the-Qu'ran-Day" that's being touted by some moron, which has its foundations in the same cultural distrust). I used to have an opini…

They didn't want to build the mosque in order to build bridges, though. They just wanted to pray, go to the gym, and do their little activities. If it were me, I wouldn't cave, out of sheer orneriness. I've always thought that if you start living yo…

Everyone has been following the torturous and inspiring story of the trapped Chilean miners and the four-month challenge that awaits them. I remember when I first read that they had been found alive about a half-mile down. Each of the 33 miners had…

The anti-mosque demonstrators at ground zero didn't do themselves any favors today when they mistook a Black union carpenter wearing a wool watch cap for a Muslim and started verbally abusing him. (The fact that he is also wearing an obnoxiously lar…

What is the famous saying, find a job your truly love and you'll never work another day in your life. That's Steve. I estimate Steve works between 70 and 80 hours a week, sometimes more, but at least he takes Sundays off.

Hi Gary -- I'm sorry, but I don't. I do remember that it was a beauty, though. I would suspect Dianne Platner of having taken it. Dianne has Magpie-like tendencies where she sees bright, pretty objects and takes them back to her nest.

It seems to me that when a person is self-motivated, has found their passion, and "work" is joy in learning and life, the time spent just flows. It's not uncommon for me to read, research, write, think, coach, consult for "work" 12-18 hours 6 days a…

BK friends, has anybody noticed the same thing about Jeevan? You stay up until midnight to finish an overdue review and you send it in at 12:01 a.m. and go to bed. The next morning, there's a cheery note from J stamp 12:03 a.m. to say thank you. Hmm…

Jeevan-- I read yesterday that biological and genetic researchers at the U. of Manchester (England) have determined that the chicken came first. Something about enzymes only found inside the chicken...you look it up. Second, you're Zen needs work.…

Jamie is the president elect of the BK Author Co-Op board and probably our hippest male author. (But I notice that he's not sporting one of his cool earrings -- what gives, Jamie?) A few points:1. The author co-op is striving for greater diversity a…

A Mosque Blossoms in Manhattan...or Not

BK Shareholder Meeting Live Blog: Board of Directors and Winding down

Steve is now taking questions as we wind down.

[I am currently experiencing heat exhaustion. Why is it that every year we have to find the one meeting space with absolutely no ventilation or open windows and then jam as many people into it as possible?]
