Beta last night we talked about the role and value money has in our lives, and the nature of generosity. It was about choices we make, balancing say, economics against the environment or leisure spending against sponsoring a child in a third world country.
This is of course the anniversary of my namesake storm. Lots more storms ripped through the world around now last year. There are major environmental / earth disaster all the time and people are dying and suffering and don't have the resources to move on.
Conrad Black just had his assets frozen. In his case this means he only gets $20,000 per month spending money.

Percolating.
