Last weekend, I had my first sip of alcohol in ~6 months (Guinness). I subsequently & quickly had another. 🍺🍺
‘Tis also the season (for holiday puns):
- It’s the most wine-derful time of the year.
- Baby it’s cold out-cider!
- Time to get fa la la lit!

Seven Point Sunday – December 18, 2022
💼 Portfolio Career
Meet Monica Yunus. Soprano, NGO founder, educator. “There is never going to be a manual for how you balance all of it.” Daily schedule: walk dog, practice music, extended day.
⚡️ Productivity
Consider Freedom. This app blocks distracting websites and is used by ~2 million people. Social media, shopping, videos, games…these apps and websites are engineered to keep you hooked. The cost to your productivity, ability to focus, & well-being can be staggering. Freedom gives you control.
💰 Money
Consider AT&T (T). Dividend ~6%. Wireless service revenue grew 5.6%, which is the fastest rate its wireless division has grown in over 10 years. The shift to 5G is an important driver for the company. Check this thesis.
📚 Books
Read The Attention Revolution by B. Allan Wallace. The book begins by pointing out ill effects of our inability to focus. Wallace then explores a systematic path of meditation to deepen our capacity for concentration. The result is a rewarding “expedition of the mind,” tracing everything from the confusion at the bottom of the trail to the extraordinary clarity and power that come with making it to the top.
🎵 Music
Listen to Simple Gifts by Catherine Marie Charlton. Gorgeous solo piano holiday album with a vibe. Fresh reworkings of familiar tunes like “Greensleeves” and “O Holy Night.” My favorite track is composed by Thelonious Monk: “Round Midnight.” (That’s about the time you should set out milk & cookies…)
📽️ Film
Watch Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World directed by Catherine Bainbridge, Alfonso Maiorana. A documentary about the role of Native Americans in popular music history
