RDW has been broke since July 20, 1979. If ever obliged by the IRS to summarize his estate and assets, he would provide a list of the cereal boxes atop his fridge. Currently these number 11: it’s been a good month.
Concerning spiritual wealth, however, RDW is paralleled by none except perhaps the Dalai Lama, who RDW met once and beat at chess. The Lama issued a statement afterward blaming his loss on the distracting questions asked by RDW during the bout. RDW replied that if he could focus while asking the questions, his Lama-ness ought to be able to focus while answering them. In the end, however, the two remain spiritual allies and agree that the purpose of life is to seek happiness.
RDW is happy.
