NYT story on Aging

So many one liners here – 1) Aging, it’s been going on for years. 2) Definitely younger than my parents at this age. 3) Young people are stupid. 4) We all seem a little fatter, don’t we? 5) My nephew started to out drive me when he was in his teens. 6) I was 40…


Boston Globe – Title IX and what to do …

Girls rule and Boys drool – ( I had to look up how to spell drool – I am definitely a boy, just a really old boy). Way slower and than my sisters, cousins, the neighborhood girls, in both education and sports … until I wasn’t, it just took way longer. Now that I play…

WSJ Diverging Jobs Data Raise Questions About Labor Market Health

This is an ongoing debate in my circle of friends, family – some are workers .. and some are the check writers and owners. $40k – 1.2 …. no one is happy . I talk out both sides of my mouth as a check writer … I hire, fire and need human capital, use it….

From the WSJ – ‘A Conversation with Humility and Grace’.

simply brilliant HUMILITY: You go first. GRACE: No, you. I insist. HUMILITY: You always have to be the gracious one. GRACE: It’s my name! HUMILITY: OK fine. (Long pause) I guess I would start by saying it’s been a tough bunch of years. GRACE: You can say that again. HUMILITY: It’s been a tough bunch…


From NYT comments – On Anticipation / Happiness

Looking forward to something can be almost as good as experiencing it. Whatttt ! I have begun to think more simply and accept some people can only be or do or see in a tighter range. Happiness is all relative. My last 4 years of part time avocation work has put me in touch with…


WSJ on “Several Million Still Missing from the workforce.”

not too difficult to understand. It’s a labor supply chain problem really. 1) COVID pushed around the already tight workforce. 2) Plenty of money sloshing around from 10 year + bull market, strong housing gains and stimulus to companies and people. 3) No one likes doing the crummy, labor intensive work, if they do not…
