And so, another working week will soon draw to a close. Not a moment too soon, yes? This is, you may recall, our treasured signal to daydream about weekend plans. Our agenda is exceedingly modest. We plan to winterize the castle, catch up on some reading, and hang with our short person. And what about you? This is a good time to plan a holiday break. You could bolster the economy and shop for wintry sweaters. Or perhaps you might enjoy calculating the impact the tax bill will have on your future. Well, whatever you do, have a grand time.

The Philippines government plans to sue Sanofi (SNY) and seek a $59 million refund over its dengue fever vaccine in response to a warning the drug could lead to severe infections in some cases, ABS-CBN News tells us. On Monday, regulators suspended use of Dengvaxia after Sanofi said it could worsen symptoms of dengue fever among people who were not infected by the virus before vaccination. Roughly 730,000 schoolchildren have been vaccinated.
