From my perspective don’t mess with perfection. You shroud Frida in mystery. Are you the witty writer or is it Frida- both?

I had three handsome sons but missed out on the daughter who is a Daddy’s girl. Joel must be full of pride and joy as no doubt you are! You both are a joy to read as having classical wisdom is a real gift lacking in all too many know -it -alls.

Aw! Thank you!!! Everything is definitely a collaboration, but Frida does have a very distinct voice/ideas and to be honest, they are usually the best ones! It really makes me think of that wonderful paperclip experiment...

Well, curious- Why do people preface a remark with: “To be honest?” Seems like a hedge. Diogenes went all over Greece with his lantern looking for an honest man. I guess to wan’t looking for an honest woman? If he had come across you and Frida he may have just had a glass of wine and called it a day!

Ha ha! It's certainly a phrase I employ regularly, but perhaps in an unthinking manner... ;-)

The subconscious mind is spooky!

Carl Jung posited: “If sanity and insanity exist how is one to know them?” The most logical answer is :subscribe to Classical Wisdom!

I miss paper and real mail. I would love it if you had a post card program; maybe invite artists or calligraphers to do one month & send out a favorite quote to any subscribers (obviously for an extra fee!) I think that would be cool & I would definitely love it & would subscribe!!!

That's a great idea!! You actually reminded me that we had thought about a subscription box... Would that be of interest? But I think starting with postcards would be a lot of fun...
