Back Home
I got back from NYC, and am ready to relax. I did put on a quick long position in the S&P futures, expecting an upward move due to my Lon Evans indicator. We have some waves out back, and I expect to get some surfing in later today. John called me up, requesting a plane ticket home. His vacation plans fell apart at the last minute, because his friends bailed. I was able to book him a ticket where he’ll leave Newark this afternoon, getting into SRQ tonight. I’ll pick him up at the airport, and he can spend some time with me. I’m glad that we’re going to be together this summer. It looks like my plans for Colorado will be put on hold for awhile, as my buddy had his elderly father move in with him for a few months. He is trying to get his dad into a decent ALC, and is having problems. I’ll give him some space, and will wait awhile before barging in and disrupting his life.
I’m slowly getting back into the grove of trading. My mind is starting to focus, and I’m thinking both logically and rationally. My edge is returning. That trip to New York, although expensive, was the best thing that I could have done. Plus, I picked up a nice piece of art.
My sister is staying here for the summer, and telecommuting. I offered to let her move in permanently, but I don’t think she would do that. I hope I don’t cramp her style 
I need to revisit my Mexico plans, and see what John wants to do regarding the trip. He’s really in the mood for Mexico, and wants a good surf trip. I will say that the place we’re staying, San Blas, could be described as rustic. In fact, rustic would be a very charitable description. However, the waves will be good, the beer cold, and the tropical nights will allow me to get my book done.
I ordered another Panasonic Toughbook, CF-19 Tablet with digitizer. This is the laptop that I’m going to take with me on our extended vacation.
I need to get over to see Denise’s grave and make sure that the head stone is right. I need to bring some flowers, and just sit down and have a chat with here. That’s what I really miss.
Here’s an interesting article that has it all wrong. Journalists shouldn’t try to explain economics.
