All of a sudden it seems it's cold - a few degrees of frost every night and we had fairly heavy snow on the mountain a couple days ago. It's mostly melted by now but it'll be back.
About this time we all start thinking about the holidays. For us in the U.S. Thanksgiving is coming up. It's my wife's favorite holiday; nothing religious but simply family and realizing how lucky we have been. Today was a minor addition to that luck; our daughter had a colonoscopy and was declared ok. Even a minor test brings some fear of failure. I have the results from the MRI on my neck; nothing unusual wrong but it's not like I'm twenty-five any more!
From Thanksgiving to Xmas seems like only a moment. Not true for children, of course, but it sure goes fast for me! We don't do much to celebrate (being athiests!); I can only imagine all the pressure that is on the truly Christian among us. We are continuing our support of the local economy by ordering a cover for our rv. That sun in the summer is just amazing; leaving the rv out just isn't an option. Next year we may even leave Pahrump for a while during the worst of the summer but this will protect the rv during the other ten or eleven months.
I've been thinking about changing the tenor of my blog. What I do every day is think about our investments and how they are working in the current environment. I'm thinking about talking a lot more about that process. Anyone have any comments?
"Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; days of joy, but not peace or happiness." Henrik Ibsen
