No more columns from Jonathan Clements

My favorite WSJ columnist is leaving. I've always found his writing to be informative, instructive and a little bit amusing.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

1. You don't have any friends on Wall Street. You may want to make money. But so does the Street. And the more the Street makes, the less investors pocket.

2. There's no substitute for saving money. Next time you crack open your wallet, think on this: The dollars you spend today are delaying your retirement.

3. You can't get rich by spending money. The folks with the big house, fancy cars and designer clothes are, no doubt, loaded. But they may be loaded with debt.

Today's steps: 9828! Just a little shy of 10,000

Windmills in Ontario.

16,833 Steps! I beat Ashley by 12,000 steps today. Hooray for me!

Ultimate Frisbee sure does help me obtain my goal of 10,000 steps a.k.a. crushing Ashley.

Went to a supplier of ours today at work. Harbec Plastics located in Ontario, NY.

They have a windmill in their parking lot. Ain't that neat? It provides over 20% of their power usage.

I also passed by the Helluva Good Plant and the Mott Plant on my way there. Very interesting...

Tuesday is for Horses

I beat Ashley by over 5000 steps! HA! Now I have objective evidence that I do twice the amount of work she does!

Tuesday - Only 16 more day until Texas

2 more weeks and we're off to Dallas. It's going to be in the upper 70's/lower 80's there.

I'm pumped. Meanwhile, we'll be looking at upper 50's here in the 'cuse.

I wonder what I'm gonna get Bubba and Kathy for their wedding. I have some ideas but need better ones.

Today's guitar class. I should get some practice in before I go.
