- Truth be told, we still haven't finished Thanksgiving leftovers. Obviously we're not eating them out of the refrigerator anymore - we froze some of the turkey last weekend. And we're glad we did - a decidedly sick little girl puts us all in the mood for comfort food with minimal effort. |

- Posted by The Happy Tutor The Aristocrat by Nelson Aldrich from Financial Planning. A homage to the recently deceased George Plimpton by an old money friend, the article contrasts the Aristocrat and the Patrician. The Aristocrat is liberal in the old sense of practicing liberality, generous to a fault; the Patrician is old money, but with a beady eye on the bottom line. |

- The naivety of economists. I found this scanning some old papers on the net, by sir Harrod Harrod introduced the concepts of warranted growth, natural growth, and actual growth. The warranted growth rate is the growth rate at which all saving is absorbed into investment. If, for example, people save 10 percent of their income, and the economy's ratio of capital to output is 4, the economy's warranted growth rate is 2.5 percent (10 divided by 4). |

Haarlem (Dec 08 2003 23:59 GMT) - The great oil painters of the past generally fall into two categories - those it would be great to have a beer with (Rubens, Manet, Breughel, Bosch) and those best left to drink alone (Gauguin, Caravaggio, Van Gogh, Degas). This has nothing to do with talent, and everything to do with a certain basic affability. For example, Vincent Van Gogh is a personal hero of mine, and probably the best colorist there has ever been. But it's hard to deny that he was a touch on the volatile side, somewhat creepy around the ladies (viz. stalker-like infatuation with first cousin), and prone to psychotic episodes. |

- How can you take seriously a piece like this in the Times when, just for starters, it calls ICANN "the Internet's semi-official governing body."Perspective comes from Kevin Werbach, who says the Times statement "isn't correct but is sufficiently well-accepted that it hardly matters. |
