Recent developments in this world

A Wall Street firm managed to orchestrate among its counterparties a sudden and complete loss of faith in its financial health, and found itself dead in the water overnight. Capitalism revealed itself (again) to be a religion supported mostly by faith. I propose we begin working on an economy based on hope, or love.

Alex's father recently passed away from pancreatic cancer. In all he had only two weeks to ready himself. Four weeks ago there was the news, reluctantly received through his son Alex, who had practically dragged him to the hospital. Then there was a rapid decline, followed by a short but labored passing that Alex found difficult to witness.

May Egon rest in peace.
