RE: *OT* Nocturnal habits
Sheila,
You caught me. If you must know, I was finishing
the Form 990 tax return for my nonprofit for 1996.
It was due 17 November (following two extensions
from a due date of 15 May), and I've been struggling
with it because I inherited the paperwork on 1996
and have had to essentially reconstruct the whole
year's bookkeeping to file the return. This is the
first time since I quit teaching that I've worked
this late. The message to you was my nightcap to
take the edge off my being wired after a long, long
day's and night's work. And this message is the
same thing for Tuesday.
The good news is that the Form 990 is finished, as
of a half hour ago.
I'm glad you like the region. It's my favorite, too, though
I'd much rather adjoin the ocean. (In 1985-1986, while
I was a fellow at MIT, I got to live one house in from
the seawall in Winthrop, Massachusetts, and watched the
sun rise over the Atlantic from my living room window at
6:15 every morning.) Troy, where I live now, isn't exactly
the garden spot of the Northeast, but I'm hoping to move
it in that direction via the advocacy of my nonprofit. <g>
Buy-and-hold works for Warren Buffet, so it can't be all bad.
Your retirement shoud be very secure indeed.
Regarding my investing, I have the knowledge, but not enough
of the guts or the capital to put it to as good use as it
should be put to--at least not yet. <g>
Sweet dreams.
Cheers, Tom (long IOM) |
