An email from a friend: this topic is everywhere these days, for good reason, “Is it legal (as far as copyright laws go) to burn CDs at home and distribute to your friends as gifts? An item on Haley’s Christmas list is a CD burner; she wants to make CDs for her favorite music and…

Absolutely beautiful day today. it finally got below 80 degrees in Miami, a miracle perhaps… today I went to pick up an Italian suit I had had custom made at Zegna, one of the top three Italian suit makers in the world today (Brioni, Armani, Cannalli, Zegna). That’s what they tell me anyway. This was…

First voice lesson today with yet another teacher. While I was away I really felt into this other new teacher I had. Whenever I thought about her I felt bad. I did not feel good inside and I have learned to trust these feelings now. To follow the feelings always. If something feels good, if…
