TGIF!

* Friday before a holiday weekend? Ooooh, that's what I'm talking about!

* With no reality TV shows last night, I found myself wandering the local Indian casino, trying to hit critical mass with one big slot machine poll. Nope. Didn't happen. Again. Good grief!

* The stock market acted fine today. Month-end strength in the on-deck circle! I think after that, we'll have to keep an eye on oil prices and earnings warnings. I think a few weeks of worrying is ahead of us. But, don't let THAT spoil your weekend.

* Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's?

* Jasmine is blooming. I really like it, but it makes me sneeze.

* I think the Social Security privitization idea is dead, unfortunately. I'm just hoping that taxes don't go up or another newfangled program gets added on top of it. If they're not going to convert it to a system that has private savings and investments, then just leave it alone. They can means test benefits later....

* I'm going to goof off the rest of the day. Have a great weekend!

* For the record? Ding dongs!
