Creating a risk-free world
Everyone has a different tolerance for risk. One person takes out a second mortgage to start a business. Another thinks that sounds nervewracking, if not insane. Neither person is wrong. Government cannot know each person’s preferences, or odds of success.

My nights as a valet
A classmate suggested I take over his valet job for the summer, and it wasn’t long before I was sitting in an interview, downplaying my lefty-sounding peace and conflictstudies classes and my allegiance to the Red Sox after learning my interviewer was a Yankees fan and National Guardsmen who would be deployed to Iraq soon.

ryan’s forecast
One could spend all day on discogs.com rooting out the forgotten one-album wonders of ‘60s and ‘70s funk and soul.
