>>btw, are you a COBOL programmer? You could make a fortune next year making COBOL programs yr2k compliant.<<

Yup, and I helped CREATE those Y2K problems, so I figure I am eminently qualified to help FIX THEM!!! Currently I am taking a 6-12 month vacation, and will consider job-hunting next year. I hear they are giving out $30K signing bonuses for experienced COBOL program who commit for the duration! Maybe I'll go see how desperate they really are.

The current lack of employment is making me a bit on the cautious side, hence my "wimpy" play in shorting those November 22.5 CYMI puts. But hey, I made enough to pay the expensive monthly premiums on my health and car insurance. Looking forward to getting my IRA roll-over, which will give me a lot more room to operate.

It's a beautiful sunny day here. The "termination dust" (snow) is creeping down to timberline, and the Californians have long since flown south for the winter. Think I'll go for a hike in the mountains. Hope you are having a nice weekend. -Greg
