Sunday Awesomeness

Hey everybody. More perfect weather. Yawn...

We are making an Indian Lentil and Vegetable Stew (aka a Sambar). Smells great.

Pizza is red and green peppers and caramelized onions with red sauce.

We also have Clam Chowder, Tomato Garlic Soup, and Gazpacho.

There was this article last week about Apple (the company) and how their sales have quadrupled in the last five years, or something like that, and how people (shareholders) wonder if they can keep that rate up with their new ceo and other things. There was a comment in the paper this morning that I liked which basically asked why we pressure companies to perform like that. Can't they just keep making 170 billion dollars a year for a while and maybe just try to be a better company? Investors should think more about the long term, where words like integrity, quality, and fairness actually do pay a dividend, and where gross profit might not be the only consideration in how well a company is doing.

I also must say that we at Ceres want you to spend money here, just like any business. We like the idea of growth, because that is where you get opportunity. We also just hope that opportunity means more than making more money, at least some of the time.

This is a more of a personal thought and is intended to provoke thought and is not a criticism of Apple, or it's share-holders (there are millions) or anyone else.
