I saw this quote from Bob Dylan today and it resonated. "Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right."

Speaking as someone who is neither a landlord, a property investor or a land hoarder,
I am going to say no.

Am seeing a lot more activity on here over the last week or so. It’s making me think I should maybe come back and embrace it more energetically. Lord knows I don’t feel comfortable doing anything to support the other place.

This is a public service announcement. The Frasier Reboot is excellent. It’s like taking an old clown suit, unworn for a decade, out of the closet and finding it still fits and is still funny. You’d miss Niles for sure but it’s still great to have it back.

Not long ago, as an experiment, I “invested” in Crypto. I bought €80 worth of “currencies” I’d never heard of on Revolut. My €80 is now €69. Truly I am the Warren Buffet of our times.
