Flee market find in Strasbourg

My take on UnitedHealthcare CEO’s murder: he hired the gunman to effectively commit suicide and get his family a massive life insurance settlement. Based on no insider information, just a hunch—but in case it bears out I wanted to put it out there.

As I end a work trip having interviewed all the people I set out to interview, I marvel at how much of this job is just dumb luck.

I got to pet goats today, so that was pretty awesome.

My wife and I were talking about things we may have mastered in life. I was surprised both of us could only think of a couple. We defined "mastered" as hard things we now do effortlessly and which we could teach a class on with no preparation. One of hers: parallel parking. What have you mastered?

Been struggling to start a conversation here. The election is still too raw, the future ominous. As always, work constitutes an endless stream of investigating other people’s problems. I’m working on paintings and a new book, but nothing I want to share yet. Trop de dit alors je dis rien.

I rushed an interview on Monday and didn’t get the outcome I wanted, and it’s been eating at me all week. Happy Friday. Fuck this week.

Where are my private investigators at?
