April

  • April? Blink, and another month goes by!
  • The stock market roared today to start off the quarter.  According to Yahoo Finance, the rally today was because "the financial sector is nearing a bottom."  Uh, okay. 
  • Or maybe the market liked Kristi Yamaguchi's tango last night on Dancing with the Stars.
  • In the bigger picture, I think we're pricing in the recovery from this economic slowdown.  The Fed has cut rates dramatically and the fiscal stimulus package is going to hit in just over a month.  The stock market discounts the future, and could be looking into a more robust 2nd-half of 2008. 
  • Man, I had the worst cold last week.  Sheez.  Hope you don't get that mess.
  • On the campaign, Hillary is basically eliminated from the Democratic nomination unless she somehow manages to steal the superdelegates from Obama.  I think the November contest will be between Obama and McCain.  Should be an interesting Summer.  Once Hillary gets out of the way of things.
  • A Final Four with all number 1 seeds?  I was pulling for Davidson, FWIW!
  • While sick, I finaly hit the medal rounds in the Nintendo Wii's "Link's Crossbow Training."  That's an addictive game that comes with the $19 Zapper accessory.  Short. Sweet.  Shoot up stuff.
  • More later...
