Today I found out someone close to me has passed away and quite frankly, I am in shock. He was a business associate and he lived on the other side of the country. But our 'business' conversations, which could have been wrapped up in 10 minutes usually went about a hour and a half. I feel like I lost a brother.
This abstract mess can wait until next week. Keep your heads screwed on straight and remember that real life - dangerous cartoons like macro financial policy makers not withstanding - is precious.
Later.
