With the current leader’s portfolio in no danger for losing the 2019 contest, let me remind you the contest couldn’t keep our weekly attention glued to the Friday night updates—without Bulbaman’s sage information and insight comments with a tinge of politics and the actual numbers for the weekly winners and losers. This has been a hard year for Bulbaman! After bursting out of the gate, way back in January, when he hit the top of the stretch like a horse, I had bet on in the Belmont Stakes back in 1960’s—he lost his mojo! Bulbaman and my 50-1 sure fire winner led every step of the race—UNTIL the last ten yards. Bulbaman gave up the lead to a worthy competitor, but we still need to consider a special donation to his worthy charity. Nothing wrong with soothing Bulbaman’s pain and embarrassment by sending a few dollars in his honor. His favorite charity has undergone a name change this year by merging with a like-minded organization that has the same goals for young students in Oakland, CA. This is a link that explains the merged entity and their goals. oaklandpromise.org I’m sure the new organization will be as attentive as the previous leadership, where they respond to each donation with a thank you note of appreciation.
