I was walking home from lunch at Cafe Vida in Culver City today with my wife when I saw a couple with a dog turn the corner ahead of me. The woman dodged back behind a wall in a strange way. The little white dog continued to pull around the corner though… it was a Westie.… read more “An Ex”

When you think of military parade, what images come to mind? This is what I think of:

The first is a Nazi military parade, the second is a Soviet military parade, and the last is a North Korean military parade. Each of these governments is well known for their frequent and elaborate military parades. Why did they hold so many military parades?… read more “Military Parades are UnAmerican”

I have been feeling a lot of stress yesterday. I think this has no particular direct cause… Maybe I have just been taking on too much work and tasks. My usual outlet of exercise has not really helped, I will try to do more exercise today and see if that helps.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to be married to Laurel! She is an amazing wife who puts up with a lot from me and continues to be a great person.

We also solved an Escape box. Ran out of time because some of the clues were stupid.

Today is my 34th birthday. For the first time, I had to actually calculate from my birth year to figure out how old I was. 2000 – 1984 = 16, 2018 – 2000 = 18, 16+ 18 = 34! Scary.

It is my opinion that the market reached it’s high water mark of the current expansion Jan 26. There are new wages reports showing big increases in wages which is going to show the Fed that inflation is really starting to rise. The Fed will react by starting to increase interest rates and start to pull back on the trillions in quantitative easing it did.… read more “Stock Market Opinion”

My Saturdays and Sundays in college were often spent watching football. My roommate Fletch would debate with me whether there was any merits to watching football. At the time, I had some arguments on why it was worthwhile… I can’t remember them anymore.  Today will be the first game of the season I watch – and that is only because I am going to a friend’s (from Vistage) Super Bowl party.… read more “Football”

Laurel is torturing me by making me learn about possessive pronouns and possessive nouns. Apparently, my teachers neglected me as a child. I am keeping this short so I don’t make mistakes.
