Hamilton “Tony” James is president and chief operating officer of investment firm Blackstone. He’s been a Costco director since August 1988 and was the board’s lead independent director before his appointment to chairman.
I enjoy looking for the first sign of Christmas at Costco. It usually starts with these ribbons in late July. The ribbons came back this year as usual. These don’t scream Christmas~!. But they will do.

Costco co-founder and chairman Jeff Brotman has died, according to the company. He was 74-years-old.
Today was the first day of the August Costco Coupon cycle, so I bought a few items. It was just a quick in and out shopping.
I don’t know if Focus Factor really works. I am afraid to get off of Focus Factor to see if my work performance will suffer. I do computer work at a large company. One error, one-click can cost me hours of troubleshooting time. Focus is very important for my job. I have a coworker who often spends hours trying to troubleshoot his own work. The guy never learns. But I will not tell him about Focus Factor. “Hey, dude, take these, so you don’t suck so bad”…
I don’t remember seeing Costco Nut Bars in the past. They are Kirkland Signature products, so you know they are good. They are not chewy like some other fancy bars. But I like these Nut Bars. They are tasty. $16.89 for 30 bars is a really good price. There was no coupon for these Nut Bars. But it was a special price. Either these are temporary items (they will sell out) or they will raise the price next round. $16.89 is a good buy. I may buy one more.

I rarely buy fruits and vegetables at Costco. There are few exceptions, but generally speaking, it’s not logical for a single person living alone to buy fruits and vegetables in Costco size. 27% of all Americans live alone, that’s 88 million people living alone in the US.
Then I saw this video promoting us to save food. 40% of food in America is going to waste, it says. The video shows strawberries being spoiled and getting dumped into a trash can.
As a single person living alone, this promotional video rubs me in the wrong way.
Thank you.
