The way things are going, I'm about to get a speeding ticket for doing 60 in a 65.:cry:

Uh oh, don't piss off the troopers they know how to find you. Hook em up with some free phones or something.

Nice.

In addition to my 401(k) and pension I buy some total market type ETF's every month, without fail. I hope that does me well in the long term.

Yeah well being an economist by training helped BUT my dad had SERIOUS financial discipline as a "child of the great depression" and the eldest of 4 kids who lost there father in the influenza epidemic when my dad was JUST 9 yrs old. My grandmom had a 6th grade education in ITALY so dad was the Man of the family AND MATURED beyond his years -- poor guy NEVER had a childhood !!

Funny thing tho all 4 got Masters degrees!!!

Dad was an executive with an Insurance firm , his brother was CEO of a major international food conglomerate until he passed. My one aunt was head of Catholic Charities in NYC and the other one was a Dean of Nursing at a Virginia college -- so i guess some of that financial discipline rubbbed off on me ! Taht plus my wife was banker before going into education and has similar values / goals / discipline

Right now... just got in from errands (diapers, post office, renting a couple movies). Getting the kids a snack then I'll be doing more laundry.

Wish I had done my run at 5AM. It's HOT out there right now. Ugh. Maybe I'll wait til tomorrow morning instead. I'd rather be dead tired all day from rising early than just plain dead from running in this heat. :lol:

Trying to find creative ways to post on the forums without typing and irritating my wrist, since my office work has demanded a lot of typing the past few days.
Oh, and lets not forget trying new ways to stir the pot.

Back from helping set 7 monuments in the heat...luckily the 3 largest ones were close to the road so we were able to crane them saving alot of energy. I'm wrapping things up here in the office and I might have a date tonight down in Lansdale..the girl is a total flake and wants to hang out tonight but we don't have an actual plan yet..I'd be perfectly happy with no date..then I can go to the bar and drink Magic Hat #9s until the sun goes down..

Took an 84 degree cool "hot tub" and snacking on a peach. Feeling a twang in the kidney area the past coupla days and scheduling an appt with the urologist. I had a stone zapped a coupla years ago and am stressed about going thru that ordeal again.

I'm glad Trek that you clarified that it was office work that's been aggrevating your wrist the last few days. Who knows where we would have run with that statement if you hadn't said "office work" ;) :stirpot: ;) ;) :)
