    Hello

    If this is your first visit, welcome to Musings. Today I am musing about a strange conversation If you have been here before, welcome back. Over time we are going to talk about many things: the past, the present, perhaps the future, travel,

    A Conversation

    Let me share a conversation with you. It took place over several days.

    This was a message that came to me out of the blue on WhatsApp. I decided to run with it and see where it went.

    Day One

    DF: Hello, Thomas. My assistant, Sonia, recommended you to me. This is D F, and I’m happy to connect with you here. 2:52 p.m.

    later

    ME: I’m not certain what your business is, but I’m willing to listen, D. 8:15 P.m.

    Next Day

    DF: I thought I’d tell you about my new project, the Privé Paradis smart hotel designed by the Ritz-Carlton and operated by Marriott. We will integrate various hotel facilities, including executive restaurants, private galleries, and retail malls.

    In addition, we will collaborate with Abbott Laboratories to develop the Astrotech Pharm Medical Center, which combines health technology with an AI-driven drug development platform. 11:59 AM.

    Next Day

    ME: “How can I, an artist, be of interest to you?” 11:08 a.m.

    Next Day

    DF: I hope you can participate in my new project as chief artist in residence and art director.11:24 A.M.

    Two days later

    ME: Tell me what your expectations are. 11:49 AM.

    Eleven days later

    DF: Have you been doing any options trading lately? 10:14 A.M.

    Next Day

    ME: No. 5:38 p.m.

    DF: ? 7:49 P.m.

    Why? 7:49 p.m.

    ME: Because . 7:51 p.m.

    DF: Why? 8:28 p.m.

    ME: Because. 8:29 p.m.

    DF: Because you’re too old to understand? Right? 8:40 p.m.

    L OL, 8:40 p.m.

    Because you’re stupid and only know how to play with useless works of art and worthless works of art? Is that right? 8:41 p.m.

    Is it right? 8:42 p.m.

    ME: I think you summed it up pretty well. 8:43 p.m.

    DF: Thank you. 8:44 I love you. 8:45 p.m.

    ME: Welcome. 8:46 P.M.

    DF: Where do you live now? 8:47 p.m.

    ME: Florida 8:47 P.M.

    DF: Have you retired? 8:47 p.m.

    DF: Real? 8:48 P.M.

    Is your family still in LA? 8:48 p.m.

    ME: No, they left in 1944. 8:49 p.m.

    DF: Oh, do you come back to LA often? 8:49 P.M.

    ME: So, we get back to my question: what are your expectations? 8:54 p.m.

    DF: No more expectations. 9:09 p.m.

    So what do you think? Lonely? Mental? Scam? I don’t know.

  12. A WORLD OF CHANGE


    Hello

    If this is your first visit, welcome to Musings. Today I am musing about change. If you have been here before, welcome back. Over time we are going to talk about many things: the past, the present, perhaps the future, travel,

    Looking to the Future. Comparing with the Past

    This week we replaced our hot water heater. The one we replaced had been in service about 16 years, so we’d done well with it. But, it no longer was doing it’s job.

    The cost of the new one made me hold my breath. It was more than twice as much as I spent on the first new car I bought. A WATER HEATER!

    A couple of months ago, I bought a new car. The old one I’d had for 16 years. It was getting tired. The new car cost more than twice as much as I spent on the first house I built. A CAR!

    You see where this is going!

    I’m old enough to remember when a cup of coffee was 5¢ … with unlimited refills. The word “geezer” comes to mind.

    We are living in a world of change and it is happening at an accelerating pace. The news reported this week that Elon Musk has become the first trillionaire $100,000,000,000,0 (or a thousand billions). I think that is correct. Just blows my mind!

    Hang on!

    Men and Women

    Yesterday we met some friends for dinner at a neighborhood place. It was an upscale Italian restaurant.

    As I observed the room I began to focus on the women. All of them wore dresses, their legs from their knee down bare. some higher than the knee. Almost every woman had bare arms. One had a dress which came to point, an inverted V, at the base of her neck leaving her arms and shoulders bare.

    The men in the room all wore slacks and long sleeve shirts. Some wore jackets. They were pretty covered up. I wore a jacket because the restaurant air conditioning can be pretty cold. That and because I am a little formal.

    That got me thinking. Why is that, the different dress code for men and women?

    When I drive around town I see young women with bare arms, a halter top and short shorts, women with bare arms and a short dress, always a lot of skin in the game. If they are with a guy he will almost always have on long pants and a short sleeve shirt. Rarely do I see the guy in shorts and an armless tee shirt

    I’m not complaining. I like to see the women as they are. I just wonder why it is the norm. It has not always been so.

    And in many parts of the world is not today.

  13. A WORLD OF CHANGE


    Hello

    If this is your first visit, welcome to Musings. Today I am musing about change. If you have been here before, welcome back. Over time we are going to talk about many things: the past, the present, perhaps the future, travel,

    Looking to the Future. Comparing with the Past

    This week we replaced our hot water heater. The one we replaced had been in service about 16 years, so we’d done well with it. But, it no longer was doing it’s job.

    The cost of the new one made me hold my breath. It was more than twice as much as I spent on the first new car I bought. A WATER HEATER!

    A couple of months ago, I bought a new car. The old one I’d had for 16 years. It was getting tired. The new car cost more than twice as much as I spent on the first house I built. A CAR!

    You see where this is going!

    I’m old enough to remember when a cup of coffee was 5¢ … with unlimited refills. The word “geezer” comes to mind.

    We are living in a world of change and it is happening at an accelerating pace. The news reported this week that Elon Musk has become the first trillionaire $100,000,000,000,0 (or a thousand billions). I think that is correct. Just blows my mind!

    Hang on!
