One of many quotable quotes:

What I realized is there’s this real sentiment now that philanthropy is
evil because the morally correct thing to do is for the government to do
all this. The government should take the money, and then the government
should allocate the money. And that’s a level of statism, bordering on
communism, that has unfortunately infected the culture right now.

Spent Saturday in NYC. NYC at Christmastime is wonderfully festive. Crowded? Yes, with tourists and revelers especially in Midtown. All bundled up, including tons of little ones in strollers. Cute.

We saw the Christmas market in Union Square, went to the theater, and had a late lunch/early supper at Boucherie. As good as France I must admit. The dessert cheese board was like France.

I know they are a (very small) chain but you would not know it. Service perfect and attentive.

Luke 3:1-6

3:1 In the fifteenth
year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor
of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler
of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene,

3 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3:3 He went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

3:4 as
it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, "The
voice of one crying out in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord;
make his paths straight.

3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and
every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made
straight, and the rough ways made smooth,

3:6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"
