For their main course, both the president-elect and Mr Priebus opted for prime sirloin with a citrus glaze and carrots, and Mr Romney for lamb chops with the mushroom bolognese sauce. All three had chocolate cake. Asked by a reporter briefly allowed to observe the meal whether it was going well, the president-elect flashed a thumbs up.

High Speed Trading and the Marx Brothers

http://www.doctormacro.com/Images/Marx%20Brothers/Marx%20Brothers%20(A%20Day%20at%20the%20Races)_01.jpg My knowledge of the stock market is limited to the advice from Chico Marx who ( I thought) said: "only buy a stock if it goes up, if it doesn't go up, don't buy it" But somewhere in the dim past, rather than it is now with high speed trading, one second was not considered a long-term investment.. Furthermore, when I looked up Chico Marx on the Internet it seems that he gambled all his money away so that the wisest investor in that family was probably Harpo who never said a word.

Thanksgiving

"After a good dinner, one can forgive anybody, even one's one relations." - Oscar Wilde from: Thanksgiving Day 2016 quotes and sayings: Inspirational, funny holiday insight http://media.al.com/news_impact/photo/Thanksgiving%20art.JPG THANKSGIVING: Seems that anything human beings do gets complicated. When there is a need to woo and/or get mated, Boy/girl, love/romance, may develop and change finally requiring skilled attorneys to rearrange. Even a simple day of gratitude for what life has us provided has a history of varying dates and attitude until more (or less) decided. Some time after the harvest the day is chosen, but why not in the Spring after surviving being frozen? And why a Thursday when any other day as well could serve? Well, whether it was ancestral wisdom or simply lack of nerve, It's still a holiday I appreciate as I eat whatever's on my plate, for I could feel similarly as devout with just a good Chinese takeout. HzL 11/24/26 United Kingdom Harvest Festival flowers at a church in Shrewsbury, England The Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving does not have an official date in the United Kingdom, however it is traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the harvest moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. Harvest Thanksgiving in Britain pre-dates Christianity when the Saxons would offer the first sheaf of corn to fertility gods. When the harvest was finally collected, communities would come together for a harvest supper.[45] When Christianity arrived in Britain many traditions remained, and today Harvest Thanksgiving is marked by churches and schools in late September/early October (same as Canada) with singing, praying and decorating with baskets of food and fruit to celebrate a successful harvest and to give thanks.[46] Collections of food are usually held which are then given to local charities which help the homeless and those in need, from: Thanksgiving - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in Canada and the United States.

Marilyn Monroe Auction

Marilyn Monroe Yours for just $50,000: Marilyn Monroe's grave marker As one of the largest sales of Monroe memorabilia - including that dress – takes place in Los Angeles, a rival auction house is offering the star’s bronze crypt label Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

O grave, where is thy victory? That beautiful sinner deserves a more respectful valedictory. Yet even her dust stirs memories of lust, and many will bid for a cape that won't flatter their shape. HzL, 11/15/16 There has long been an industry in morbid lots pertaining to Monroe; in 2009 the next-door crypt was auctioned off for $4.6m. “Here is a once in a lifetime and into eternity opportunity to spend your eternal days directly above Marilyn Monroe,” ran the eBay auction description.

The auction, at Julien’s in Los Angeles, includes innumerable dresses such as the one the star wore to sing “Happy Birthday, Mr President” to John F Kennedy (estimated at $3.3m) and a great deal of jewellery, such as a diamond cocktail watch ($100,000). There is also Monroe’s now famous recipe for stuffing, scrawled on a sheet of City Title Insurance Company notepaper. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/sep/07/marilyn-monroes-happy-birthday-mr-president-dress-for-sale Marilyn Monroe's 'Happy Birthday, Mr President' dress for sale www.theguardian.com Flesh-coloured dress that film star wore when she sang to John F Kennedy expected to fetch up to $3m at auction Marilyn Monroe's 'Happy Birthday, Mr President' dress for sale Read more But on Monday a new lot became available at an auction house across town, at a rival sale scheduled for the same date: a grave marker from Monroe’s plot at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. The item, for which bidding begins at $50,000, is one of many that have been cast over the years, owing to oxidation of the bronze caused by it being touched by visiting fans. This particular one dates from the early 1990s and bears simply her name and dates. A note on the back reads: “Make Two Patterns for Marge’’, referring to the lettering supervisor. A similar item fetched $212,500 at Julien’s last year.

Restless Leonard Cohen, Rest in Peace, נוח על משכבך בשלום

Restless Leonard Cohen, Rest in Peace, נוח על משכבך בשלום Among the many tributes and obituary notices for Leonard Cohen there is this marvelously well written and moving New Yorker piece by David Remnick, published on October 17. Leonard Cohen Makes It Darker It is quite long but very well worth reading--there are a few laughs but keep a kleenex handy. It was written when death was looming as noted in the obituary paragraph. http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/161017_r28842_rd-903x1200-1476123800.jpg Leonard Cohen, who died this week, was one of our greatest songwriters—Bob Dylan told Cohen that he considered him his nearest rival—and is a figure of almost cult-like devotion among fans. He began as a poet in the vein of Allen Ginsberg and Frank O’Hara before releasing his first album, in 1967. Suffering from terrible anxiety, not much tamed by alcohol and drugs, he conquered his fear of performing onstage after decades of Zen practice. David Remnick sat down with Cohen this summer at his home in Los Angeles to discuss his career, spiritual influences, triumphant final tours, and preparing for his end. “I am ready to die,” Cohen said. He was already suffering from a number of health problems. “At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It’s a cliché, but it’s underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable.” Leonard Cohen Makes It Darker - The New Yorker www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/.../leonard-cohen-makes-it-dark...

Prince Harry Besotted?

Could Prince Harry ever marry divorcee Meghan Markle? There are royal precedents... Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the divorced actress he is believed to have met at the Invictus Games earlier this year Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the divorced actress he is thought to have met at the Invictus Games earlier this year Hannah Betts 31 OCTOBER 2016 • 5:21PM Prince Harry is rumoured to have a new love interest: Meghan Markle, a 35-year-old American television actress who lives in Toronto. As is the way with these things, Ms Markle - best known for her role in the legal drama, Suits - combines her acting career with being a UN advocate and style blogger, boasting a million followers on Instagram, where she describes herself as a “lover of handwritten notes”. Breathless reports declare that the two have been an item for six months, share a love of yoga, and sport matching friendship bracelets. The 32-year-old prince is described as “besotted”. Prince Harry Besotted? Marrying a divorcee is okay for you and me but if you are of a royal dynasty you must consider your progeny.
