 I’m back from Portland.  I did my taxes (or, more accurately, the AARP volunteers at the library did my taxes).  I went to Vicki’s birthday party at Izzy’s, in SF.   I’m sitting Kaleb.  And I’m reading The Science of Enlightenment (how meditation works), by Shinzen Young.  Kaleb has been walked 3x today, already.  It’s a lazy Saturday, though.  I just took a nice nap.   This place smells nice.  There are lots of flowers, and a jungle of plants in the living room.  Kaleb has stopped yipping.  I had a Trader Joe’s Cobb Salad.  And it seems as if I have nothing else to say.   Well, not really.   There’s this, actually:

Fall in line, and fall in love.   Interest rate!  

If I don’t care, am not interested, will that lower the IR?

If I don’t use my pump, will that prevent inflation?
