My Leveraged Brokerage
After I got off of work yesterday I went over to Govorners Park. I’m not a huge fan of this place cause it seems to have such a yuppyish afterwork type crowd (so…what kind of car do you drive?) but I don’t mind it, it can be fun sometimes and the beers are huge. I met a few friends there and watched the cubbies lose. I had a few drinks and and a plate full of cocnut shrimp (mmmm come here my little shrimpy and let me eat you) with coleslaw that was turbo good (you know who you are) but damn expensive. Fortunately my beer was pretty much paid for cause Leber was trying to get his wife to stop drinking and so he gave me her beer everytime she ordered a 2-for-1. That worked out great. Of course it sucked when I had to wake up early this morning for a meeting out by the airport. Mel offered me the key to her condo up in Grandby for when Jami is out here. Her and Leber were really intent (=drunk) on me taking her up there while shes in town which was really nice of them. We’ll see if we have the time or inclanation when she gets here.
Some of girls at the bar told me it’s nearly impossible to find a man that is worth keeping around. I wasn’t surpised to hear this.
Yesterday I got all excited because my landlord called me at work to tell me I had a FedEx package that had been sitting in her office for the last week. All day I was dreaming about what might have been in it and who may have sent it to me. When I opened it up, it turned out that is was just a letter from Fidelity Investments telling me I better put money into my leveraged brokerage account or they were going to liquidate some of my securities. That was a bit of a let down.

Maybe the girls at the bar meant that was impossible to find a man worth keeping around, at Gov’s.

I had a conversation a few days ago with Marty about this very same thing (sorta). I said that we are obviously compatible with more than just one person in the world. He asked what percentage I thought we’d be compatible with and I said probably 15% and he says, “Oh that makes me feel really good. I guess you just figured I’d do. blah blah blah”…so then I changed my percentage to 10% and that made him a little happier. What percentage do you think?

Hopefully that wasn’t because they’ve been sucking it dry with hidden fees, like TD Waterhouse.
Sounds like a fun time, though, with the Happy Hour. I love shrimp!

chris - i’m sure that’s what they meant
chevy - rk
Em - well since nearly half the population is male that only leaves me 51% of the pop. to choose from. about half of those people are just plain dumb. that leaves me 26% (i’m rounding up and trying to be optimistic). about half of these people will be unattractive, 13%. about half of these people will be bores, leaving me 7%. i approximate half of these people will not find me attractive leaving me only 4%. of this four percent, i’m guessing, that because they are such good cathes, 3/4ths of them will be married. this leaves me with about 1%.
Allison - i think it’s just ’cause i suck at picking stocks.
