Google Grows and Works to Retain Nimble Minds
When a product manager at Google told his bosses this year that he was quitting to take a job at Facebook, they offered him a large raise. When he said it was not about the money, they told him he could have a promotion, work in a different area or even start his own company inside Google.
He turned down all the inducements and joined Google’s newest rival.

Ray’s
Based on Kathleen’s research and recommendation, we are dining dockside at Ray’s in Seward. It is apparently, the only restaurant in Alaska that has been “reviewed” by the NY Times. It is quite good. Dad had the seafood chowder, Alaskan Salmon, and he added a King Crab leg for just $8! For those who know me, you will be shocked to learn that I had the Tuna appetizer (although it is not a local Alaskan fish) and then the Halibut. Fish ain’t so bad if you get the right kind. Ray’s gets five stars from the Ehrlichs based on quality, with a relativity bonus for location. SZE
