The End of an Era


My grandmother died today... I lived for years with her. In some ways I feel closer to her than to my mom... Cancer.

I never got a chance to say bye... To have her meet my son... To have one last talk. We used to have such great talks...

From Blue to Green

Oh man! So much has happened since my last post (when was that anyhow? Oh. right. June 19th, when I posted Unc. Bill's best ever birthday message). So what's happened since then? Well, for starters, I've left the blue bank to go to the green bank (still wealth mgmt). I'm no longer an "online" guy, I'm now more general business, and I no longer work in a marketing group, I'm now in finance??? (How did that last bit happen). On top of that, I missed out on Oubay's stock tip (my own fault) and failed to buy ATI (either the stock or the calls). And then I turned around and sold my RIMM calls too early, missing a $7.00 run up in the stock price. Yeesh. You've got to check out this guy on Youtube. I hope I'm as in touch with what's going on around me as he is when I get to his age.
