For the cozy wanderer who enjoys quiet evenings, warm fireplaces, and occasionally saving the world before bedtime. Preferably with snacks.

Watching the inevitable critics of Carney's performance with Trump today, I am reminded of the two bits of advice I used to give clients: Don't antagonize people who can inflict serious harm on you. Don't start fights with crazy people. There are other routes to success than confrontation. #cdnpoli
