crap in my pants!!!!. Or should the title be "Let's party like it's 1929!!!!!" Ouch and as I write this the futures are falling apart again.-Today was a day, I should just not trade. I had to get up early for a conference call which was cancelled in the middle of night but before I knew it I had made coffee and bathed - silly me. Then I decided it was a good day to upgrade my Anti Virus software(see note below) - silly me. So being not in a right frame of mind, I tried trading - silly me. As the totals showed, I lost $200 but each trade I fat fingered something about everyone of them and then panicked - silly me. I was off balance from the get go and never regain my footing. Then more computers problems and I said "F" it - time to go to work and have more fun - silly me.-Don't trade when you are tired, too stressed, too hot or cold, too pissed off.-The numbers:Stocks: noneStock Futures: Gross - 160 net -199 contracts 18Forex: none - I am really wishing I had my head on straigh

Yesterday was the electronic cover of "Paint it Black", and today is the (mostly) instrumental remix of "Gimme Shelter". Good stuff, especially for remixers looking for mashup material.powered by ODEO

My lease is up soon if there's no takers...On the other side of the county the Seattle SuperSonics are also attempting to score a new building. They are hoping to dip into the same taxes that helped the Seahawks construct Qwest Field and the Mariners build Safeco Field. The Sonics are eying two locations in the Seattle suburbs. Th
