I returned to Nevada in mid-September from my latest Euro-tour biz trip to Karpacz, Poland; Vilnius, Lithuania; and points in between. Karpacz is a beautiful, tiny “locals” ski town in southern Poland on the Czech border, with one main street weaving all the way up to about 1,600 feet above sea level. I had planned to hike 20 kilometers to an observatory at the highest point, where I could have stood in Poland and the Czech Republic at the same time-but it never happened. I was there for the 33rd Annual Economic Forum, which drew European Union presidents, prime ministers, commissioners and corporate leaders. I was there because the host institution, the Warsaw School of Economics, sponsored me, as I’ve been a guest lecturer there for the last seven years.
