Yesterday I was working out of doors, it was 16 degrees with a stiff 20 mph gusting wind. I persevered to completion of a necessary job. That’s what it means to live as an adult. There are many things that must be done, never mind the discomfort. On the return drive to the office…
And so it begins. What begins, remains to be seen. A bipartisan committee has finished a compromise bill that addresses border security concerns, as well as funds the government.

A few days ago an extended email exchange of points of view happened. The mutual expression of views were in response to an initial statement regarding the hyped and stratospheric values of the art market, a field of competition for the uber-wealthy.
