Just re-reading these three stories by Truman Capote:



"A Christmas Memory," "One Christmas" and "The Thanskgiving Visitor."

Great stuff.

I love Truman's works. The movie upon his life was fantactic IMO.

On another matter (completely), I watched a frightening documentary dealing with the money in the world. Please check this video out (it lasts 50 mns) but it's a very nice, quick and understandable economic teaching.

It's quite scary for us, "simple mortals" and workers, and for our children too (another problem for them to deal with)

Hi Steve, Did you write this article?

As a matter of fact, yes I did. I wrote it under my African alias

I've been reading Daniel Barenboim's Music Quickens Time. It's an incredibly insightful and inspiring book for our time.

After hearing an interview with the author last December:

I had to check it out, but didn't have time until a recent trip. It set the stage nicely for the Vancouver Seminar for me.

Just thought I'd pass it along...

I saw his book and was intrigued, but now that I've listened to his interview I will get this book.

Thanks for sharing, Greg!

Hi Paul,

You're welcome. And for those of you exploring those "middle years" like me, I can also recommend a collection of short stories by the late great John Updike I just finished reading: The Afterlife and Other Stories (1994).

Absolutely no music content whatsoever, but brilliant as usual.

funny stuff. That poor guy. What a nightmare.

I laughed so hard. I have ordered the book, I can't wait to read the rest.
