Domenico Scarlatti – Sonata in D minor, K 64/L.58/P.33

I have a bunch of earnings reports to read and as I work from home, I can’t get Scarlatti’s Sonata in D minor, K.64 / L. 58 / P. 33 out of my head. He wrote it sometime around the year 1740 and it was printed in Volume II of a book of keyboard sonatas he published in 1742. Harpsichord, clavichord, piano, guitar … it just sounds so catchy no matter the instrument on which it is performed.

We Bought Our “Forever” Piano – A Bösendorfer 230VC with Enspire Disklavier Pro and a Custom Interior Macassar Ebony Wood Inlay

I could hardly sleep Friday night because of excitement. It felt like Christmas as a kid, when all that joy, happiness, and anticipation are bundled together. Only much, much greater. Imagine you had been waiting on Christmas to arrive for more than thirty years.

Many of you watched me put off this purchase for decades as I prioritized investing over consumption, but it is now here: Aaron and I finally settled on our “forever” piano. We purchased a Bösendorfer 230VC model with the Enspire Disklavier Pro add-on and a custom-inlaid Macassar ebony wood around the soundboard. It is being manufactured near Vienna, Austria for us and should arrive in the next year.

After a 4,484 Day Wait, I Finally Bought the Theodore Alexander Althorp Grand Staircase Secretary Desk

When we were originally furnishing our Missouri house, I came across a desk that I wanted to buy. However, I decided to invest the money, instead. Twelve years later, I discovered it, again, and, being older, determined this time around I was going to buy it. I will almost assuredly start, and finish, each day reading at this desk.

First quarter 2024 was one of the best of our lives and careers. We are making progress everywhere, companies across multiple sectors in corporate America are doing great, we’re starting to really cook some amazing food, again, I have begun taking advantage of the collapse in furniture prices, and, yes, the second installment of Final Fantasy VII’s remake was released.
