This OT post is for Larry Brew and Andrew Vance,residents of the great stateof Colorado where i was a Vail regular some 18 years back. If you go there give my regards to Helmut Frichter the strolling Bavarian with the cute pants and the concertina. Me thinks if you guys take advantage of the ski season it will be great therapy to take your minds off your bad calls in the mkt and those slopes are soo near! Anyway this is how i prepared for the ski season back then when i was a spring chicken(or just plain chicken) 1) I visited the local butcher and paid $10. a minute to sit in the walk in freezer for 30 minutes. Afterthat i burned 2 $50 dollar bills to warm up 2) I then go to the nearest hockey rink and walk across the ice 20 times in my ski boots while carrying 2 pairs(better then nasdaqPAIR) ..of skis, accesory bag, and poles. I seriously pretend i am looking for my car. 3) For ski boot simulation before the trip, i put a pebble in my street shoes and tighten a c-clamp around my toes 4) I buy a new pair(not the stock) of gloves and instantly throw one away. 5) I go to McDonalds, wait in the longest line and insist on paying $8 for a hamburger 6) i clip my lift tkt to the zipper of my jacket & then ride my Harley fast enuf to make the tkt lacerate my face. 6) i go to I-80 in a snowstorm and drive slowly for 5 hours behind a 18 wheeler. 7)i fill my martini blender with ice,hit the pulse button and let the spray blast my face simulating skiing in front of a snow maker 8) I dress up in as many clothes as i can and then proceed to go to the bathroom so i take off all the clothes because i got to go 9) i repeat the above every Saturday and Sunday and then go off to Helmut's Place where i sit in front of the fire ,get drunk and sing Lili Marlene . FWIW from Fla where its 79 degrees

Andrew,Awhile ago I believe you listed five stocks that you felt had great prospects because of their enabling technology.I seem to recall CYMI,ASYT,ASMLF,NVLS,and I believe the last one was PAIR. What are your thoughts on PAIR now?On Friday,I hesitated before buying,feeling that I should wait a day or two.To often in the past I've jumped in with the herd and found myself toasted on the second and third day.If I've learned anything during August through October its self-restraint.However I do hold a small position in PAIR and would like to average down. Thank You, Gary Kniffen
