Great Company

Notice that I’m rubbing shoulders with Peter Drucker on the book shelf of the fire chief of the City of Los Angeles!!

Or, a “holiday tree” for those of you who prefer to be grinches.

Steve Jobs

His death was announced on a device on your desk. You’re communicating about it through his platforms.
His legacy is in your pocket.
While protestors “occupy” Wall Street because they aren’t rich enough, smart enough, or disciplined enough, and feel it’s someone else’s fault, Jobs created life-changing devices while fighting cancer for eight years, perhaps the most creative period of product introductions in his life.
There’s really nothing else you need to consider if you’re looking for lessons from life, and legacy in death.

House Growth

Since my daughter, her husband, and our grandchildren moved up to Rhode Island from New York, the lovely Maria (TLM) told me we no longer had to buy a new home close to them. I had nine seconds of joy until she told me we’re refurbishing our house. Some of the changes while we were in italy:

The living room and dining room are about 85% complete. That's a temporary dog-proofing fence.

Leading up stairs. You can see Koufax's blanket on the couch below.

Two wine racks, one on each side of the breakfront. Bottom right are exquisite reds.

I was happy in Capri!

Nantucket Redux

We were fortunate to spend a beautiful week in Nantucket tucked in just prior to the storm, and take one of the final ferries out. This was our 16th or 17th year in the same spot. As far as I’m concerned, it’s God’s country.

A virtually private beach, seldom more than a half-dozen people.

You'll note my trademark cocktail!

Another sunset at The Galley on the beach.

Den/Office Progresses

From the transitional card table to the custom installation, without the wallpaper or final touches. (The sailboat belongs over the polar bear!)
