Peter drinks coffee, plays chess, teaches finance, and does some fun econometrics time-series stuff. He also cooks dinners, detrends return series, and supports various political causes. He abuses the English language with love and affliction, but believes that officer Crabtree still beats him with a few horselengths. He is a reformed Molskinista, an avid Marxist (of the Grouchoian kind), and a fan of 1980s Britcoms.
