Editor’s note: For this one time, I’ve chosen a magazine of the month. I finally broke down and bought a subscription to The Economist in 2017 having only enjoyed airport newsstand copies when I was in the mood. It’s been a good purchase. This bonus issue came before the holidays then and I found it fascinating. Their writing is excellent, topics are well chosen and as with all predictions, a certain boldness is required. Purchase or read what you can online. It’s well worth the time.
John Zingg and I played music together in college and were close friends during tumultuous times. Since retiring a year ago, John works on his music with daily discipline. His goal is to create original music after playing mostly in cover bands his entire life. Here’s one of his early instrumentals.

Editor’s note: Alice and I have been what can be described in this country as poor and we now fit the description of rich. And in both cases, I’ve worried about the burdens of one and the other. More so, I remain vigilant about my relationship to money. Thanks to my Mom, once basic needs are met, the only life matters worth paying real attention to are my relationships. This brief article from HBR nails it spot on for me. As Taylor suggests, I’ll also pick up Jacob Needleman’s book once it’s back in print.
Money may be the root of all evil, but only if you are not honest about what it means to you.
Editor’s note: If you like history, spiced up by great writing, this is a can’t miss. It reads like a novel and yet I learned very interesting detail about man’s early quest to fly and also about a very interesting family. I was also a bit stunned to learn about the business and financial outcomes of their ventures.
Think about the key decisions facing you. Perhaps you’ve been putting one of them off. Perhaps you’re facing one deadline or another - buying or selling a home, hiring or letting go of an employee, making a decision on your career or family path.
