* More on this trip to France, this time focusing on the art that we’ve been lucky enough to see – especially a David Hockney retrospective that turned me from a mere admirer of his work to a superfan.

* Also, as usual, my take on significant (to me) news stories that you either missed or may have simply ignored.

* Plus a few items on the mechanics of building businesses and personal wealth – two subjects that, as I mentioned in the last issue, I’m getting back to in a big way.

* Not to mention some bits and pieces I’ve come across that I thought you would enjoy.
