recession notes


when i met david burkholder he was presented as a gifted designer who could help remodel my home. he was wearing two shades of green - green khakis and a lighter shade and completely non matching green shirt. it was hard to reconcile a designer who couldn't dress. his pant shirt combo appear to be minor problems. i heard over the weekend that burkholder had disappeared. well, he didn't excatly disappear, he was sent to federal prison for 4 years.

he was fraudulently scheming his parents in kansas to raise money from friends and their church to help payback debts he owed. including, and i'm not joking, money he owed barbara streisand and a debt to help the family of his partner (who didn't exist) who was killed in a tsunami.
