Or maybe he stated, a nickel borrowed is a five cents I don’t have to pay back to another country. Something like that. Gee, have learned some tough business lessons and personal ones too about loaning money to people. Simply stated, never again. Those that owe, you still owe and shame on you. I shouldn’t have [...]

Wasn’t it George Bush that stated, “A nickel saved is a nickel earned.”

It was nice to have a football program if for only but a day. Notre Dame loses to an eight loss team for the first time in the history of the school! Oh, Charlie Weis….ouch, see ya. Hopefully Syracuse will hire a real head coach and reestablish the Orange as a perennial top 25 football [...]

Found a game not too too far from my new house. I was referred by a friend and sat in at about 11pm. Actually recognized one guy from highschool although we weren’t all that friendly back then. But scouted out the competition and didn’t see anything dangerous. Had I had some better cards, I feel [...]

Who walks away on top? What 60-something about to retire American walked away from the market when it hit 14,000? Um, yeah. So here we are…Mike Mussina about to announce his retirement from Major League Baseball today. Here’s a classy guy, that played the game correctly, and going out on a high note posting three [...]
Corporate waste

I was checking out some investigative journalism this morning from Good Morning America. Good stuff. It shows the CEO’s of two of the three big auto manufacturers begging for bucks in one breath….then flying off in their corporate jets (at the tune of about $20,000 per flight) in another (thanks for the link Scott). It’s [...]

A shade over 60 days until President-elect Obama becomes president. He’s checking his list, checking it twice, gonna put Democrats in office all over. Rumblings and discussions about working in the middle and discussions with McCain give the other side and some of us hope. Hope that he’ll do the right things.
Considering the bottom 60% [...]

It gets earlier and earlier every year. This year however it’s kind of ridiculous, seeing holiday decorations up at most retailers. This year will be one of the wildest, scariest, and turbulent of holiday season. With American pocketbooks clentch, close to their respective owners, how much we’ll be spending this year is a mystery. Black [...]

It’s not all bad. I mean, I get to see both Shane and Evan during the day. I take care of what I need to take care of and stay disciplined, or at least try. Being a stay-at-home-working dad is something I never thought I’d do, but the rewards far outweigh the cons thus far. [...]
Hard Rock poker take II

Flew back down to Tampa to pitch Wednesday’s game in this baseball tourney. Had a couple of hours to kill beforehand so made the 20 minute drive over to Orient Road off I-4 and the Hard Rock. Took me three buy-ins of 100 to get to about 300 in chips and be able to play. I [...]
