Evan and Josh are taping NYS games today. Julie is headed to work all day with PA volunteers making netiquettes of children killed at the hands of their caretakers for her Champions event. I am headed to the Phoenician for an all day ETRADE education day learning about EFS and Option trading. The class is excellent as is the facility. I get a handle on option trading and may try it after the dust settles with moving everything to ETRADE and moving all the mutual funds into EFS index funds. The market hit and retreated from 13000 a few times last week. Markets seem to be recovering so the indexes should be on their way up. Per the retirement plan we need another million in the vault before we can retire and feed our money habit till were 90.
At lunch I was late in the line and sat down at one of the few remaining seats. I introduced myself to woman next to me. After a few questions it happened that she was Julie (Brown), married to a Robert who used Julia Roberts as a way for people to remember their names. She works for IBM supporting Amex as a PM which I was in her meetings for TPF disk change over. Quite a coincidence.
We meet back home in the afternoon and head to the Chapmans for a pot luck dinner with them, Toley and Galina and Maureen O'Connell. Its quite fun. There is an undercurrent of the polarity of the politics in the room with us and the Chapmans being bleeding heart atheistic liberals, Mo a prolife activist and G and T Fox news, Rush L hypocritical tea party republicans. It's almost fun not to skirt around those beliefs. We play the name game and Mo and I kick ass as the only team with usa roots as partners.
