Trastevere](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ea/fd/eafdb338-c9b6-4f87-8363-78ab94cc3a18/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Ceiling.-Trastevere-225x300.jpg) Well, I made a big decision. I'm going to attend a Cursillo retreat in February. I have attended three Catholic retreats in my life, and all were a colossal waste of time. Two of them were so bad, I was (no joke) embarrassed to be there. After the third strike, I swore off retreats for good, but a fool never learns, so I am, ten years after my last retreat, going to give it another time. Everything seems propitious: No family function conflicts, it's in February, it's during Lent, and it's being held at a local retreat center that graciously hosts my individual *poustinia* retreat every year during Lent. I'm going to do the Cursillo instead of the *poustinia*. ![Ceiling.

[Here's a map of the places with lots of holes filled with excrement](https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-20/these-are-worlds-real-shitholes-literally?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). ![Ceiling.

Did anyone notice? \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Netflix shares have exploded to all time highs. When the company crashed a few years ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ea/fd/eafdb338-c9b6-4f87-8363-78ab94cc3a18/content/images/widgets/q.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ea/fd/eafdb338-c9b6-4f87-8363-78ab94cc3a18/content/images/e/ir.gif) ago, I thought about buying some shares. I gotta (gotta, gotta) start trusting my gut more. But of course, when I remind myself about how I passed on Bitcoin at a dollar a coin and Netflix, I'll tell myself, "You're tricking yourself with hindsight bias." \* \* \* \* \* \* \* There was a rare [Nassim Taleb sighting](https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/01/no%5Fauthor/the-intellectual-yet-idiot/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) yesterday. When I saw he had written a new article, I figured I would blog about it this morning, but it wasn't very good. In fact, it was bad, just regurgitating the main points of his last book. \* \* \* \* \* \* The Patriots opened as 5.5 point favorites yesterday. I guess I'm not surprised, but man, after that beat-down that Philly gave Minnesota? Man, I'm tempted to take the points. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Shocker: [Those California creepy parents were perverts](https://nypost.com/2018/01/22/horror-house-parents-kinky-sexcapades-revealed/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). I gotta believe sexual perversion underlies and/or accompanies 90% of heinous crimes, yet we still protect pornography. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* I bought the late Gene Logsdon's *The Contrary Farmer* earlier this month. I'm only about 10% of the way through it, but so far, I give it a "6.5," with hopes/expectations that it will climb to 7.5\. I find it curiously inspiring, making me think that maybe, just maybe, I can launch my newest flower operation successfully without turning homosexual. We'll see. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Don't forget to visit [the MAXimum Greens store](https://www.maximumgreens.com/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) for your gardening needs.
