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.

I can't take any credit for knowing who the author was, but there was a beautiful quote as part of the Double Crostic in yesterday's WSJ which I finally finished and then looked up this morning . The quote is certainly true for us in So Fla where the weather has been gorgeous recently: (hzl, 11/20/16) "November is usually such a disagreeable month as if the year had suddenly found out she was growing old and could do nothing but fret over it.
