The Ten "Cannots" of Political Economy:

 1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
 2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
 3. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
 4. You cannot help the wage-earner by tearing down the wage-payer.
 5. You cannot further the brotherhood of mankind by encouraging class hatred.
 6. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
 7. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
 8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
 9. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative.
10. You cannot help man permanently by doing for them what they could do and
should do for themselves.

What A Difference A Door Makes

Wow.

I’ve wanted a new front door for 14 years. It was always on the plan…for next year. It closed. It locked…mostly. And there was always some other priority. Usually something cancer related. So it stayed. Today, that changed. Before…

And after (but still untrimmed and unpainted)…

For the first time ever, my front hall is filled with natural light in the evening. It makes it look and feel more like a home than it has in near 4 years. Maybe there is hope yet for this house of busted dreams.
