I think I've found a way to re-boot some of my synapses, neurons, etc, which have fallen into disuse since I stopped working full-time. While channel-surfing one day, I discovered that funnyman Richard Quest was covering the World Economic Forum for CNN. That man can talk so much and so fast and his reports of the WEF were rather rivetting.

I caught some of the short interviews he did with CEOs, big shots of big-time organisations such as the World Bank, etc, when he got them to 'vote' in this 'recession-o-meter' (picture and story source) for whether they thought the economy was going into a recession or just a slow-down. No laughing matter, of course, but he made it sound so entertaining, and these CEOs and big shots were smilin...
