Thanksgiving …

Once again, it’s that time of year … time to sit back and reflect on all that I am thankful for.

Work continues to chug along. The bet that I made that our stock would rebound last fall has paid off nicely … I lowered my average cost significantly, and my portfolio is above [...]

A quick summary to get caught up

Wow, have I been lax on posting anything original lately. As often happens, life has taken a few unexpected turns and I just haven’t really gotten around to it.

For the past several months, I was dating a really incredible woman. Unfortunately, it was a long-distance relationship and the 800 miles of separation became [...]

Black Friday thoughts

Yeah, I know this isn’t news at this point, but there is a reason why I try to avoid going anywhere near a store on the weekend after Thanksgiving and the day after Christmas. It’s not just Black Friday, but the entire season.

In fact, if it were possible to not spend any money [...]

Thanksgiving

Time once again for early morning musings on all that I am thankful for over the past year; which given the current state of the economy and world politics might be a difficult task:

I bought my own home again this year … sure, I only have [...]

Since there’s no snow …

Arid-Zona

In Arid-Zona for the weekend visiting my mom and stepdad … since I won’t be able to visit for Christmas, this is an off weekend for the UTCX series, and there’s no snow to speak of in the canyons (and since I had a free ticket), I decided to fly down.

So, we’re doing [...]

Holidays (redux)

Okay … so despite what I wrote in my previous Holidays post a couple days ago, Thanksgiving isn’t so bad when it’s spent with really good food, really good wine, and really good company.

Many thanks to Scottie, Chelsie, and Nikos for inviting me, and to Woody, Mariah and Aaron for good conversation.

Holidays

Part of me really hates this time of year … oh, sure, I love it when winter is rolling in, when the snow is starting to fall, and ‘cross and/or ski seasons are in full swing.

Then there’s the holidays. The turning of a harvest celebration into football and overeating, followed by mad dashes [...]
