December 4th.  Merry Christmas! (21 days early) But right on time! for Vini & I. We couldn’t wait. Exchanged our gifts today.  Being separated for the holiday proper brings ample freedom to celebrate on our own time. Warm gifts… several of them! What a handsome treat. To have several packages each. Christmas isn’t his thing, really.  Yet he was up early, fruit salad...

Losses →
LOSSES Most losses add something— a new socket or silence, a gap in a personal archipelago of islands. We have that difference to visit—itself a going-on of sorts. But there are other losses so far beyond report that they leave holes in holes only like the ends of the long and lonely lives of castaways thought dead but not. by Kay Ryan

I heard them playing as I walked through the train turnstile. I rushed in to get closer. I’ve seen her play before, and it is quite a treat. A beautiful love for music.

"Stop Coddling the Super-Rich" By WARREN E.... →
“…for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate.” —- Great idea. Thanks for weighing-in,...
