Economy

"Today is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why they call it a present."
- Kung Fu Panda (movie we saw with the girls last night)

I watched part of "One Fine Day" last night. Such a great movie. That movie totally reminds me of my life when I was working full-time. It was a like a wild juggling act every single day.

Looks like more and more companies are encouraging employees to telecommute. That's good to hear. http://www.star-telegram.com/804/story/688592.html

I asked my brother about the economy last night. It is pretty scary. He said it will be choppy for a while and he heard this week that Tom Cruise's pool man had to let his pool man go.

I keep telling Brett I want to sell all my stocks and tuck away the cash. He says that's the craziest thing to do but you can do whatever you want with your money... I'm riding it out." I'm calling my financial guy tomorrow. Might be making some investment changes. Bryn said this week she does want to learn to sew so she can make her dresses out of flour sacks. Blaine says, "I'm not wearing homemade clothes." (Can you tell I read them some books about the Great Depression?) Those were realities. There are many people who don't think that is possible and many are overreacting. I was up at our golf club last week talking to people telling them how my post office guy told me they normally do $5K in postage sales a week and are down to $2K and I was the only one in there mailing packages." I relayed this and the men at the club (with their expensive golf bags) said "that's crazy. You are listening to the wrong news programs. Everything is fine."

Yeah, right.
