Tom, Mostly Off Topic
I was a stockbroker in L.A. in 79, loved it. Also love San Diego. I moved for business reasons otherwise might still be there.
When I
go to England, I am told that I have an American accent and over here I am told that I
have an English accent--don't know whether you have that problem.
LOL. Absolutely! The worse part is that I just seem to be rediscovering my English accent about the time I have to come back to the US.
Re: Where did I live? Blighty. Mainly, in the Chelsea, South Ken. area. I, like you, have lived other places too. Currently, I have a home in South Florida but spend summers elsewhere. If you have ever been here in summer you know why.
I love my British heritage but also appreciate the value of being able to examine the mindset and education from an outside point of view. I am sure you know what I mean. Besides, they really do talk funny. <VBG>
Tom-I read your post on the sell off and your comments re: microsoft and intel. I read somewhere on a thread that historically the 23rd December was a down day but the days following the 25th were up in something like (don't remember exactly) 80% of the time. I think that we will head up, rather than down, but hey I am the eternal optomist.
Whichever way it goes, may fortune smile on you and may you have the best of holidays.
Cheers
Ray
