Gold

Pulled the trigger on unloading a few stocks to buy gold first thing this morning.

The ones I didn't drop both went up today; the ones I did went down.

I am, however, somewhat annoyed that I let myself be talked out of doing so in August; I'd have realized 30% gains had I done so at that time.

Further navel-gazing is forecast for this afternoon. Lunch first.

So, I've come to the realization that I'm a hell of a lot less interesting when I'm being healthy. That's a shock, I'm sure. Of course, part of my being a general stick in the mud also comes from feeling tight financially, which puts the kibosh on a lot of socializing.

But, yeah - as nice as seeing the scale put up friendlier numbers is, and disliking what the mirror has to show less and less, and being able to knock a couple minutes off my second mile time over the last month - those of you who know me from my more festive times are probably wondering where all the fun went.

It's apparently somewhere back there with my late 20's. :-p
