Why is it that every time you rent a classic movie, like, say, “Rain Man” because it’s been 15 years since you last saw it, it’s on TV the same night? Alternatively, you talk about a movie with a friend, by chance, and then it’s on TV the next day?

Today, I interviewed an executive at Swedish Vattenfall, about an incident they had a nuclear plant, and their analysis of it.

First off, if you happened to get here via Google, I’m sorry, this entry is not about a talent search slash reality tv-show nor about a TV personality building a media empire around his name. (And if I named the show and the host, then, well, Google would be all over this entry. Just kidding.)

Jaws 2 was on TV last night. I think I’d seen it before, about 20-25 years ago but I had no recollection of the movie. The original Jaws came out in 1975 and I was too small to see it, i.e. my parents wouldn’t have let me even if I had been interested which I think I wasn’t.
When I was about ten years old, I used to write pages and pages of hockey play-by-plays. In my neatest writing, of course. Mostly it was Sweden vs. the USSR, and Mats Näslund used to score the game-winning goal. (After Göran Högosta’s amazing split saves).
That’s the generation my idols are made of. And the coaches of my idols.
“Hey there, what’s up? How’re ya doing?”
“Good, good, keepin’ busy, keepin’ busy.”
“Really? Where do you work now?”
“Amazon UK.”
