>>I am about to take a break from the markets soon <<

It always helps to take the occasional break from the markets-- quite apart from recharging ones batteries, it makes one aware of the fact that there is more to life than trading. I have usually done this by taking a couple of breaks a year and going away some where remote and relatively inaccessible. This summer that may be difficult given my relocation to the East Coast. Someone suggested that I should look at the possibility of making the trans-continental journey from Vancouver to the East Coast by train, after the movers do their thing. I understand the scenery is spectacular and the train service is modelled around the Orient Express in terms of amenities, etc. I am checking it out but, I suspect that it may be too late to get reservations at this late stage.

>>I thought I saw a post on one of the threads that said you are changing addresses from the West cost to the East coast. Did you finally get tired of the lack of seasons?<<

No, really being done for personal and to some extent professional reasons. But having lived in the DC area in the past, I know that I will be happy there--except that I will miss the weather in CA.

The real estate market there is quite hot -- it came down to choosing between three houses. I bought one that had been listed for two days when I saw it. The other two had been listed for less than two weeks and they were gone within a week thereafter!!

>>I know someone that has lived in LA for over 10 years and he still misses the seasons.<<

I'll miss LA--I loved the weather, the multi-cultural atmosphere, the ocean, and where I live--the hiking trails.

>>At least it should make it easier for you and Options Jerry to settle your bet. I still haven't figured out what a tasty cake is
though. It must be an American thing.<<

Never heard of it either--before OJ brought it up--so my wager is for something that I have never heard of--though a couple of people posted that it tastes great--so let's see.

>>I posted Lachesis one or two other things that I could remember about your system. You might take a look to see that I am not too off base. <<

I scanned it and I think that you got the gist of it.

Take care
