Sorry

Sorry it's been so long. lots of things going on. between being sick, and having my wife get sick, and her being out of town, etc., etc., it has been crazy busy. I can't believe it was 2 weeks since the last post. Not sure where the time went.
Anyway, turbulent times on the market. Not sure if we're on a plateau up or down or stagnant. There are some select companies that are very volatile right now. TGT is the biggest surprise of the more active. It has bounced around between 50 and 55 recently. I guess the analysts can't make up their mind on whether its a good buy or not. Long term, I think we all know the answer.
Only 2 or so weeks til we find out whether I have a boys or a co-ed basketball team I am forming. Looking forward to knowing. Otherwise, all seems to be going well. My wife is slowly but surely coming out of the tiredness, though I am not sure she realizes it.
I had seen some funny links last week that I wanted to post here, but lost them.
Interesting news related to a revolt in the works against Ebay for raising fees. I'll say that I think their fees are high. But, as is the case with credit cards: if you don't use them there are no fees. So you can't complain if you list something in a way that you make little or no money. It costs them to house servers and developers and we all know the cost of monkey-food to feed the developers is getting more expensive.
Great article on the MSFT-YHOO takeover: Yahoo's last mistake
WTF was yahoo thinking? And google, bunch of hypocrites! If they think YAHOO+MICROSOFT is a monopoly, wtf do they think GOOGLE+YAHOO will be. They'll control most of the ad space on the internet in the world. Sometimes, people lose their heads....
I actually hope yahoo is saved. I like their easy, more informational search engine. But, they just have no sense. They just bought another company today!
Wake up yahoo, ya lost. Better to hitch onto a winning horse than to sink with the ship.
Whatever.
OK, hope all is well for all the readers out there. Sorry it took so long for me to post it!
