thanks.  I think it will all work out.  it’s the law of the jungle.

I dont know if I’m going to watch the president thing on tv.  kinda hope not but I might get weak.

I’ve been doing work.  I’m pretty busy.

as for the financial world, it got postmodern years ago but people thought it was ok.  now it’s getting postmodern in the opposite direction.  who knows how postmodern it will be in a month, 6 months.  who knows what that will look like.  once something is postmodern, you don’t know anymore.   I think if we’ve learned anything from postmodernity, it’s that once something is postmodern all kinds of weird unpredictable things can occur.
