'Tis the season...

Something about 71 degrees just doesnt' say "Holiday Spirit" to me, so I kinda like that it is cold now. I've always liked sleeping under lots of heavy blankets with the heat turned down. When I was a single guy in Richmond, I used to turn OFF the heat in my apartment at night - and it would get COLD in there. But I had this REALLY HEAVY quilt, plus a couple other blankets, and it was never a problem. There are too many females in the house for me to get away with that now! (grin) Did you know that water freezes at 32 degrees, but many women freeze at 62?

Things are going pretty well. I'm about to transition from one team to another at work. This will feel strange - I've worked with the current team for almost 7 years. But I'm looking forward to being in a learning mode again.

Practice for the stock stuff is up and down - but that is to be expected at this point. The first year of practice is primarily about finding the proper entry point for trades. Some I get JUST RIGHT, some are JUST WRONG. There is MUCH learning yet to come. I'm very excited about the once-a-month class I'll be taking next year. It will be a challenge to get there some times, but I am absolutely confident that it will be worth the sacrifice.

My family continues to bless me. Natalie and Lauren attended the Revolve Tour this weekend, and all reports are that it was a very impactful time. Rachel and I enjoyed some time for just us - and she liked Ahi Tuna from Zyng! (She didn't want to try the wasabi, though. I'm patient...)
