Einstein Priced The Options on Your Mom

Thanks to Prof. Finance, I have notes reading, "The second order partial differential equation of the Black-Scholes option pricing model is equivalent to the stochastic process of Brownian motion." Unfortunately, the five-week class system and a penchant for not paying enough attention have left me with a final on Thursday and no clue what that actually means.

Currently I'm deducing it's the secret code into many a lady's pants but I've been wrong before. Repeating Prof. Finance's catch phrase "Ohhh Baby Doll . . ." has gotten me nothing but spilt drinks and restraining orders.

I have no clue what that means, either.

But, I am going from Waco to Malibu next week, staying at the Casa Malibu, and wonder if you have any suggestions on things to do there.

If you like sea food, drive north to Malibu Seafood or keep going and head up to Neptune's Net. If you want a place that allows you to eat on the beach, go to Paradise Cove. If you want a reasonably priced glass of wine on a gorgeous deck hovering above the ocean, go south to Moonshadows. If you want awe inspiring view, go to Pepperdine and drive up to the Hero's Garden. If you want to see celebrities, go down to Malibu Colony and eat lunch at the tables out front.

In general, if you want to see some amazing sites, just spend a couple hours driving around and getting lost in the hills.

What if all I want is a simple whole roasted pig and a decent conversation in Danish?

All of Jonathan's suggestions are great except for 1 –

Don't go into the hills unless you know where you’re going. Many of the mountain roads around Malibu have sheer cliffs with drop-off and narrow winding roads - but the views are spectacular.

If you want a whole roasted pig try Chinatown and bring your own Danish conversationalist.
