Q: What is the significance of the Grateful Dead lyric on your homepage?
A: This lyric attributed to Robert Hunter is from Terrapin Station and reflects my acceptance at mid-career that one writer's opinion will not largely impact the whole of our financial structure. In the end, my only significant opportunity to add value as a writer/adviser is to help individuals operate within the system rather than as a protestor against the system. As much as I feel, for example, that our national fiscal policy is a disgrace and that the states' administration of entitlement programs is just ridiculous, I spend each day helping people figure out how to utilize these same systems. In a sense, I think, this lyric is an echo of the second provision of the serenity prayer "to accept those things I cannot change". I have also incorporated bits of Grateful Dead lyrics in other Web pages and publications.
