That's a remarkable confession, but if you're trying to get me to reveal my own youthful indiscretions it won't work! ;)

Whew! I was fearing you were good student and succeed well in the school.

With that confession, and being a such high caliber, you are worth of an honorary drop out title.

You will be blessed. Kids are a delight.

Son now is high ranked state swimmer while always on Honor Roll and Student Council. I think he is channeling Winston Churchill and Geo. Patton by way of Stonewall Jackson. In other words, a fairly good (absolutely outstanding for his age) historian. He knows everything about Gettysburg and the war in Virginia. Will be bitterly disappointed if he does not go to UVA or W&L or Citadel. None of this interests me, he is entirely self-starting.

Before his martial spirit got fired up, he was obsessed with pirates; between ages of 6 and 9, knew everything and I do mean everything about pirates. In other words, obsessed with things that interest him.

Hates the modern world, will not use a cell phone we bought him, has never texted, reads books and goes on computer only to game battles already fought. God help us should he decide to go after moolah or power. It will be single-minded pursuit.

Swimming coach says he is the most unique kid he has ever known, and he has known hundreds.

Anyway, enough gushing. I think you are in for the most wonderful experience of your life with a son. I don't have a girl, so my experience is limited. I have 3 sisters, and I love them to death, but they were PIAs as kids.

Anyway, to get back to finance. Tavakoli tells us that fraud is not for sissies. She is no hack, so read and brief, your comments welcome. I don't know if this is hypothetical, rumor-based or what but it has certainly made me reconsider my paper gold. The tells that scare me are Paulson and the mines getting bought:
