Happy Birthday
217 years ago today, a bunch of suits met for coffee and organized the New York Stock Exchange. Legend has it that the first transactions were made under a tree on Wall Street. Given the current debacle, maybe they'll try that again.
Thanks to Leroy Neiman for the only interesting representation of this famous (infamous?) institution.
In my life I've waited tables, raised sons, taught school, published books, and railed at politicians. I'm building a house, next to my son, where I can spend time with my granddaughter. I read, write, and dream about being immortal.
