Can you imagine living to 102? I sure can’t.
But, Dr. George Rosenkranz just succumbed his earthly habitat at the ripe old age of 102.
The Age of Living Machines
So, last month, I had the opportunity to visit the House of Sweden (the building that houses the Swedish Embassy in the Georgetown section of Washington, DC). It’s a stunning building with vistas of the Lincoln and Washington Monuments, the Kennedy Center, the infamous Watergate Hotel and Residences, Rosslyn (VA), and Roosevelt Island.

Most of you know I live in Metropolitan DC. So, whatever happens in/to/from the Federal government is LOCAL. Like the shutdown- that cost the DC area more than $ 220 million each and every day in business. Since there are some 5 million folks living in the Metropolitan area, that’s $ 50 not spent by every man, woman, and child. OK, that doesn’t sound too bad. But, there are about 225,000 businesses in the area. Which means the average business took a hit $ 1000 a day. That is a significant number if you are a small business- even if you are a large one.
