Just like you and me. But with more money

We just watched Born Rich on HBO. It's fascinating. Jamie Johnson (of Johnson and Johnson) directed it around his 21st birthday and the huge inheritance that meant.

I thought it was interesting because it seems to reveal that (old) money just is not cool anymore, and after reading Old Money I think this is a relatively new environment. Pop culture defines cool these days, not some windbag Vanderbilt.

Glad I'm not there right now

Breean points out that our friends Penni and Jeff had to leave their home in Scripps Ranch, CA because of the fires. Their answering machine still works so they assume the house is okay. I hope the rest of my friends out there are safe.
