Looks more like the integral of individual selfishness bountifully abundance left, right, and middle to me.
Great time as my wife's high school reunion, last night! I love seeing old black and white yearbook pictures from our day, complete with the insane hair styles we wore.
Quiet day. Quiet weekend. After Friday's trip out of the city, we got back early in the morning. Misjudged the time a bit, spending about an hour longer than expected. Meaning we didn't leave for home until almost 1. Over 120 km on the highway. Dropped our friends off, then back home, let the dogs out - past 3 by the time we finally fell asleep.
That's fine when you're 20 (unless you're me, old even when I was young), but takes a while for me to recover from now. Yesterday we didn't do much of much. Checked my email in the morning, found my first poetry acceptance of 2023. I ran some errands in the early afternoon. We watched the Jays game, ordered in some food, started Good Omens 2 in the evening. I drifted off reading a novel around 11 (Fawn Parker, "What We Both Know"). Woke up around midnight with it resting on my chest.
I came a across a double deck of playing cards that got buried when we moved in January. I use it to play a solitaire game my sister learned in college, and passed along to my dad and I. Never knowing what it's call, we've always simply called it "The Game".
I moved from the UK to Germany a couple of years ago. As hoped (and expected), the vast majority of things over here are better. People seem much more chill and friendly for the most part, and the quality of life is noticably better than in the city in which I used to live. I can safely say I don't really miss the UK much at all.
However, there is one thing that Germany just doens't seem to be able to get right: finance tools.
Given that Frankfurt is the financial capital of Europe, it might sound a bit strange to say this. But Germany's day-to-day banking and in-person transactions are a complete shambles.
