Hi Marc:

Everything's great, thank you.

Not sure how all the rumors started about my health. Kept getting pms about it over the years. Never responded. Anyway, I have never had health issues. I run 5k every other day. I have never spent one night in a hospital in my entire life. Neither has my Dad and he is in his 80s.

I tripped back over this thread a few days ago when I was doing some google runs looking for investment information. The run lead me to this thread. I had not seen it for years and I saw Pete here trying to make something of it and decided to stop by after I saw another comment about my health. Took me a half hour to remember my log-in data. lol

I dropped out of the message boards years ago because there was a sudden sickness in my family -- both sets of parents live around us in addition to other relatives -- and our time was totally consumed as primary caregivers.

Then, a few months afterwards, when things settled down, I made a decision to do something different and productive with my life. Might have been my midlife crisis...lol.

Much of the past few years I have spent volunteering to my community. I have been recognized for my efforts statewide. One of my efforts resulted in my co-founding a non-profit company in 2009 that has grown tremendously and now serves over 3,000 boys ages 8 to 18 in our area annually. I currently serve as vice president. I have also been a volunteer in running and reviving the town's community baseball program as well as other community baseball programs throughout the state. I also have been head coach and gm to summer baseball teams for years and last year my team, along with my son, finished second in the state. I have some of my former players playing college baseball now.

When I am not involved in these projects, I'm writing. I am writing a children's book with my sister (I am the writer and she is the illustrator. She is an artist and is involved in the school publishing business. Over the past year, I have also been writing a novel based on a real life regional events that I hope to complete in a few months. (Justa needs a publisher...lol).

And when I'm not writing, I'm involved in a business I opened a year ago. It's been fun. In January, I will be involved in a huge auction in New York City of artwork. Plan to go down there next week. Maybe we will stop by and see the "Occupy Wall Street" movement.

My head is currently spinning as I am going through the college application process with my son who graduates high school this spring. We spent this past summer looking at schools and now we are doing the paperwork . He wants to go to one of the top liberal arts college in the country. (We'll see about that one).

So my time has been consumed by a variety of interests and demands over the past several years.

I am looking at the market now on a longer term basis --- weeks and months -- when I have some free time and making moves accordingly.

Hope all you guys have been well too.

Best,

Justa
