Looking back,



on 2006, I see an unusual, somewhat transitional time in my life. Expecting more hurricanes, but getting none, gave me time to get a 'preview' of retirement, which most people probably never get. I realized that while nearly unlimited 'free time' is nice, it does get old. Would love to start building something, but I don't feel the time is right to gamble a bunch of$$ in the real estate market. I've been through too many ups and downs not to recognize a down time coming up. There will be a time to jump back in, and I hope I can recognize it, but I just don't think it's now. So that leaves 'something else', but I don't know what, right now. My experience is in building and adjusting, with minors in reading, golf and gambling, but is not limited to these areas. I do plan to combine my reading and gambling into a more active investment program, but that won't be full time. My ski pass should give more "contemplative" time, as I hope to get out of the house a lot more. I do realize, more every day, that life is short, and not to be wasted. As we all embark on this new year, a time of reflection and resolutions, I call upon my friends and relatives to help me seek out and recognize the opportunities that exist 'out there'. Forgive me for being so 'human' and merely enjoying the good life too much and help me onto the next level. Be patient and forgiving, and I'll try to do the same. Together, this can be an exciting, productive new year. Luv to all.....

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
