  • listened to Die Broke by Stephen Pollan and Mark Levine (1998)

    • Quit today -- work for your bottom line, not a company's

    • Pay cash -- avoid credit and "convenience fees"; spending should hurt

    • Don't retire -- life is a journey, not a destination; be active and engaged your entire life

    • Die broke -- what're you saving it for? Enjoy your money while you're alive.

  • listened to Starry Messenger by Peter Sis, read by Barbara Caruso and John McDonough (1997) -- a VERY short audiobook: 15 minutes

  • watched The Cuckoo "Kukushka" (2002) -- Veikko, Finnish sniper-kamikadze chained to a rock; Ivan, Soviet Army captain arrested by the Secret Police; Anni, Lapp war widow sheltering both on her farm. Communication, friendship, and love defined.

  • watched The Dish (2000) -- one heck of a nice film based on the true story of the Parkes satellite station's role in the Apollo 11 moon landing
