Yeah doing well. Doing mostly family stuff these days - oldest (8) was in Soccer in the summer and if he didn't have fun, I sure did. Now he is in Skating; Swimming and Spanish; youngest (4) will start skating. (Yes unless the "s"port starts with "S".. smile

Otherwise very busy - trying to get my shit together. Read a good book (and methodology) from David Allen - Getting Things Done. Even found a half decent PHP app which I can use to keep track of things. Slowly putting the system together.

Going to be running (assumed on) the school council this year and a good chance I will run on the condo board too. Not to mention having to to get a new/used car by year's end. Haven't decided which part is hell and if any part is heaven - but having to deal with sales"people" is definitely as close to hell as one can get.

Investing - well up one day.. down a bunch the next - nothing too attractive lately. Been watching SBUX but dropped to 30s and perhaps a rebound - time will tell if it will hold. Now the energy trusts are dropping like a rock.

Whatever - about 20-40% cash across most accounts anyways - get through Sep/Oct and hopefully the fun will begin.

Haven't done much "board" reading - I hear the tech drum beats with MSFT releasing Vista - but is it a given people are going to run and buy tech? I hear consumers aren't buying the gadgets as before. I see DSL company getting people to sign up and giving them LCD monitors (or LCD TV) - implies as I have read for a few years now - so many out there and no one to buy.

The Cambridge House Resource show is Sunday Sep 24th/25th. Not so sure I can make it - I do enjoy the EOD round table - Grandich is always good for a hoot or two.

(Never finished reading your stuff Chary--but I will get back to it all in the weeks ahead).

cheers all!
