john updike, "the super-rich make lousy neighbours"The superrich make lousy neighbors
they buy a house and tear it down
and build another, twice as big, and leave.
They're never there; they own so many
other houses, each demands a visit.
Entire neighborhoods called fashionable,
bustling with servants and masters, such as
Louisburg Square in Boston or Bel Air in L.A.,
are districts now like Wall Street after dark
or Tombstone once the silver boom went bust.
The essence of the superrich is absence.
They're always demonstrating they can afford
to be somewhere else. Don't let them in.
Their money is a kind of poverty.
from american scholar 67, 4 (fall 1998), 52.

2. i will be working at the wrf for the summer as a research intern (wahoo :)
3. evergreen ministries finally has their new website up and running ... complete with a video of my dad... it is worthy of checking out... :)

e much needed time sleeping and resting with my family.6. my brother's senior banquet was this week... the pictures (i think) are blog worthy
