We have transitioned to the coast for the holiday week and it is foggy, drizzly, and dreary here. I miss the mountains and the clear blue skies.

Poor Grace had five teeth pulled on Friday. She was not a happy camper. I have never had a dog that need teeth brushing before, but I have one now! She won’t chew on anything so the tartar builds up. I bought a tooth care kit for her and when her gums heal we will start to brusha-brusha-brusha…

I bought a new game for the PSP-Liberty City. I am not very good at driving games and I have only completed 2%. The people in Liberty City are terrible drivers-reminds me of L.A.

Stock tip of the day-holiday time and volume will probably be light. I expect to sit tight on my holdings for the week and not do any trading. My positions are good going into the shopping season. If I had some free cash I would add to my small position in Altria-might still add a few shares. The price is low.

No pod news-I am away from my I-tunes so I can’t add anymore. Be sure to go to Podcast Alley and vote for your favs-vote often .

Oh, time for a small rant. What is with Microsoft? Tomorrow is the release of the X-box 360 and I checked with my local gamestore here on the coast(Gamestop-GME for you home gamers who want a good retail stock for Christmas) and they are only getting 24 systems in the first shipment. 24? They have 200 reservations! It will take them 2 months just to fill the reservation list. Is that the best Microsoft could do with all the advanced orders and knowing how many they would need. They couldn't make any more? What gives???? End of rant.


That’s all for now so keep your batteries charged!
