And That Is Why They Can't Remember
We had a brilliant morning today. (For new readers, I use the all encompassing "we" to provide a cumulative assemblage of all the voices in my head at any given time.) We took the dogs out, got all spiffy, and drove in the dark at 6:53 to the club to meet with my club buddies.
They had a 7:27 am tee time and I could not play today, so I got a quick "Hello." Then we were left with our many voices to digest this week's Barron's, The IBD (Investors Business Daily), and the WSJ. I sat there for almost 2 hours. It was blissful.
I walked away not sure if the aftermath of Sandy was worse then the premath (Is that a word? Karl help me out, is that a word?) of the election? Either way we should see some volatility next week. More later.
Then it was home to my lovely wife to begin the change of seasons. Yes boys and girls, the pumpkins were being put away as were the witches. I offered Devin one last chance to ride the broom around the neighborhood, but she declined. She declined so hard my arm is still sore.
It was off to storage to get the red and white and put away the orange and black. When I walked down stairs I saw Devin dancing and skipping as though we had won another car. Not the case, as she was just all giggly that the sound of the season was on our TV music channel.
We gathered all of our Halloween décor and took it to our two storage units. (All the guys I golf with now know why I could not commit to a round this morning.) After loading all the Christmas stuff, it was home.
Now there is one thing I must share. I now know why Devin and Jack cannot remember anything. There were about 11 boxes in storage marked "Devin's Memories" and "Jack's Memories". Now when I reminder about something we discussed and she swear she does not remember, I will just say, it's probably at storage.
Speaking of storage, I recently purchased a commercial piece of property. It has just under 11,000 square feet and in about 75% warehouse. I think with 7500 square feet of storage, we should be able to get rid of our two other storage units.
My plan is to possible rent out a couple of offices to friends or acquaintaces, and set up a recording studio to play my guitar and drums. I hope to create a creative team of musicians and song writer to have some fund dv eloping a catalog of songs for future development. If you have any ideas or interest, drop me a line as I am in the strategic planning phase of this project.
The working title will be ACMAR Studios Inc. It is an acronym standing for Anybody Can Make A Record. (If that sounds familiar, on my album Anybody Can Make A Record, you here a guy say that before I do, "For Ol' Times Sake". The voice is that of John Fogerty of CCR fame right before he launches into, "The Night Time Is The Right Time" from the CCR The Concert (Fantasy Album). It should be fun. We will keep you informed.
We will hopefully have more for you tomorrow as we try to make sense of the weebles and wobbles of election week. About 7 million of you have already voted. I encourage you to fight the weather and what ever apathetic feeling you might be having and get your butts out and vote. I do not care who you vote for (Not exactly true, but in the essence of being politically correct . . . ), just excersize your patriotic DUTY and choose Your President and Your Senator and Your Congress.
To quote President Bill Clinton who spoke earlier this year at a UBS event, while pointing his finger at the audience of 330 uberwealthy clients, "Remember, you elected these folk. They told what they wanted to do when they ran for office and you voted for them. Don't forget that, the next time you complain about how dysfunctional things are in Sacramento and DC." He has a point.
