    06 Jun My dear family in Christ,This past week saw the beginning of the deconsecration and demolition of the former Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Burlington. I have to admit, this action, years in the planning, was a bit bittersweet.

    It may come as a surprise to those who have placed their nest eggs in an S&P 500 index fund, or an actively managed version thereof, that they are actually making a decision to exclude a significant portion of the equity universe. Academic theory, particularly William Sharpe’s capital asset prices study, suggests market-capitalization (cap) weighting is an appropriate starting point for the weight of any asset class in the portfolio, including small caps.

    23 May My dear family in Christ,Last weekend in my Sunday homily at the Cathedral I noted that this is the time of the Easter season when the Church invites us to look forward towards the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Rather than focusing solely on the Resurrection of Christ, we now anticipate the coming of the Paraclete and the “birthday” of the Church.

Draft State Department memo proposes 10 embassies to be cut as part of budget cutting exercise, 7 of which are in Africa per @RobbieGramer. I have to imagine that countries like Eritrea and CAR would be happy to see the US leave. Either way, feels like its back to the 1990s. https://t.co/x7vIqdaNi8

Fascinating to see Kabila step out of the shadows and hear him speak. I don’t remember him doing a press conference like this for years. Certainly not since he stepped down in 2018, and even before that he’d mostly stopped doing these after the 2011 elections.
