Who Cares?
Is the title of the song quoted below, and while it may sound trite I think it's a good attitude to have: Economic tides ebb and flow; family and friends are the things that matter in life.
Obviously economic discussions dominated the family chats this weekend, so we did what we normally do: we opened up a large bottle of cheap wine. And my Bride put some Fred Astaire on the Hi-Fi. She said that if they could find the joy in life in the midst of that, then we certainly have nothing to really complain about.
Wise words, my friends.

Now there's a silver lining to hope for. Maybe Hollywood will go back to making movies for adults, instead of political statements disguised as movies.

You know, Retread, I was thinking sort of along those lines with regard to Paul Newman. There's a guy who did far more to help charities and people in need than any of these over-politicized attention whores of today, and you never heard one political rant or peep out of him. He just quietly lived and led by example.

Wise words, indeed.

That's because Paul Newman was an adult and acted like it. Er, behaved like it. I gather his politics were well left of center but that's only because of what's been written since the week-end.
I'm beginning to miss the days when politics and religion as topics of conversation had their place and that place wasn't in my face 24/7.

Cheap being the operative word. Happy and wise are the ones who can banquet on sunshine and dewdrops.
