A house down the street from us

Clearly they have kids:




And as one decoration begets more, I suspect next year will see a lot of these.

Dana is on the way home and should be here in a couple of hours. Toby will be beside himself as will Zoe. The quiet house will be quiet no more.

And, in a different vein, I'm reading Michael Lewis' Going Infinite. He is an exceptional writer turning the most boring stuff into interesting fodder for thought. This is no different. He just happened to be following the story of crypto currency when Sam Bankman-Fried exploded. The trial starts today and the book came out a couple of weeks ago.

I feel so topical.

They've done a pretty good job with those skeletons! I saw a doco about Bankman-Fried this week, so I feel topical too. I'm very interested to see how the trial goes given all his friends have dobbed him in (another NZ expression for your collection). I can't see he has a leg to stand on.

I'm a third of the way through the book and will finish it before the trial gets too far along. He's definitely done, though. Unlike most of these guys, I don't think he's arrogant, just clueless on a very weird level.

Love/love/LOVE Michael Lewis, and this book is on my list.

He's getting some negative feedback about his characterization of SBF but it is nice to get a picture, flawed or not, from the inside.

Lewis is often sympathetic to the "bad guys." It's one of the things I like about him. He's sympathetic. But he never pretends they're good guys.
