Greetings, David. Well, I’m at this moment listening to Beethoven’s string quartet Opus 127, something I don’t believe I’ve ever done, nor perhaps would I have done without you. So thanks for that. And thanks for writing it. Oh, and I’m on my deck out back here in Vermont — the strings and the crickets are performing together. So all is well. And this very moment, like the infinity of moments we have in reserve and within reach, is real and priceless and worth more than anything that might be “produced” from the “economy.” And even were we lacking the Beethoven, the crickets alone would bring me priceless joy for which I need not earn or spend a dime. But I’ll take the Beethoven as well — thanks very much.
