How to respond to awkward Thanksgiving dinner questions:

• What do you make of the elections?
• Are you seeing anyone special?

You can thank me later. 

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving!

💰 Money

Consider Wallgreens Boots Alliance (WBA).  Retail pharmacy operator. Dividend ~4.6%. The firm has raised divy for 41 years. This thesis says it’s a top dividend stock. 

📚 Books

Read The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi, Fumitake Koga. Happiness takes courage. Don’t worry what others think. But also don’t engage in wrongdoing. You have the power to change how you feel.  The past is done. Stop trying to please everyone.  

🎵 Music

Listen to Christmas Everywhere by Christian Fabian. A gorgeous holiday album that features Matt King (piano), Jason Marsalis (drums). Feel good swing & thoughtful solos. My favorite tracks “Silver Bells” , “Feliz Navidad.”

📽️ Film

Watch Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song directed by Daniel Geller, Dayna Goldfine. This feature-length documentary explores the life of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his internationally renowned hymn, Hallelujah. I saw an early cut of this film, and it moved me to tears.
