You have some money. What else do you need?

-

 Integrity. Decency. Goodness.

The ability to life without jealousy. 

The heart yo say “thanks” with ease, and mean it. 

A sense of awe that conquers disappointment. 

An asset that you earned yourself.  A partner in life who is rich enough to make you feel safe  I’m not   You picked poorly.

Truth that isn’t manufactured or gaslit.

Someone who loved you as much as I did  

Dopamine, endorphins, and empathy  

Leadership skills   Administrative patience. Friends who want you yo be part of their organizations.

A strategy to stop taking money and nothing else from your partner, so you can hide from my anger and disgust  (I can’t avoid you either when I’m sending $3900 a month to you for the rest of my life.  You are truly and well stuck to me like flypaper now, thanks to your neediness and your lawyers.)

This is a lot. I wish you were more than you are. Or even an authentic version of who you claim to be. It would have been worthwhile to be your partner, not that I wasn’t anyway. 

Argh. The worst thing that ever happened to me. 

What do I desire now?

My self-respect.  I want it back. 

I hope to survive this trauma and the anxious depression with sone of my health intact. 

Exposure to kindness without a due bill other than being myself. In other centered. I’m not going to fuck people over. But there must be someone out there who can give as much love as I can without accruing debts. 

Grace.  Speed. Joy. Something I’m proud of.

Meet my friend, the mediocre hedge fund manager

-
There is no such thing as smart money.   Yet, when was the last time you heard some one described as a "below-average hedge fund manager?" Probably never. Or a "mediocre physicist?" That's because these two professions seem mystical to people who don't stop to question that at least half of the hedge fund managers--and physicists-- graduated in the bottom 50% of their university peer group. Yet look at the HFRI Equity Hedge Index compared to investing in a no-fee indexed S&P fund since 1996--the last 20 years.   (Note:   you've been screwed in either case so don't hold your breath).  Yes, all those wicked smart hedge fund guys (remember their nice suits from back in the late 90's?) rocked along at 13% annual returns from '96 til early '00.   So did the S&P. Since then it's been a negative shithouse for the guys who get their drawn portraits published in the WSJ.   Between ''08 and '13 a dollar invested i...

Schedule crunch--and what it taught me

-
I woke up anxious and even a bit angry this morning…an old habit from the past that has diminished somewhat as I've recovered.   And then it hit me…I have a 7:30 meeting that I'm leading and I'm not ready.  I have an 8:45 Masters Ski group workout and if I'm not prompt the group takes off without me.  I have a critical board meeting at noon, and I haven't covered the materials.    And I have guests coming for a week on Sunday, so I'll partially lose control of my schedule.  That may be the worst.  My response was to schedule a group dinner during the week so I'd keep in touch with some of my new friends in town.  A bad pairing…NYC friends and mountain town friends. What do you cook???   Conclusion at the moment…5:33 AM:  I will be happiest for the next months living alone.  With no one in my space other than my two cats, who slept next to me in a joint cuddling ball all night.    I do not want to sha...
