The Bleeding Heart Capitalist

Brief Thoughts on a Sad Day

If these weren't the times they are, the weeks approaching my 5th wedding anniversary would be far more joyful. Today was eerily reminiscent of the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks: sunny, warm, puffy cotton clouds, and just a hint of coming autumn. So sad that such beauty would summon a feeling of melancholy. I was lucky 5 years ago. There was no casualty in my immediate sphere of influence. Not so with my oldest brother, who reflects on his loss of a good rugby mate here.

Since the talk now is of the new building proposals, I'll repost my vote. I think it sends the appropriate message to those who wish us ill.

Productivity

Tomorrow we see the OB. We are expecting another baby. We are tired, overjoyed, and probably crazy. Yes, I know, we've been busy. I think this puts me over the $1 million threshold for "tuition money to earn" so I'll be back to regular blogging sometime around the development of the warp drive engine.

I am a 4th child myself, so this is pretty cool.
