I'm being beckoned to the sleep chamber.

Will advise on interview as soon as feasible.

Night, Box.

Isn't he a negative indicator (i.e., you will have reasonable success in the market if you do the opposite of what he advises)?

Cramer had one article today where I actually agreed with his central tenet.

Thanks.

Shujaat is a great guy to know. Past President of Les Clefs d'Or USA. He can probably get you anything anywhere and make food from around the world arrive hot.

:D Thanks. It's always good to have a connection like that. ^

But when accounting for the time wasted to read it, it comes out in a negative return simply to agree :D

The rollover text was actually sufficient to realize he might actually have a cogent thought (although the actual content would have to go to OMNI/PR).

Time for chips and salsa.

I've got to work on a presentation for tomorrow. Good night, Box.

I'm about to head back to work as well. Trying to decompress, listening to Alison Krauss, Jay-Z, Talking Heads. Normal stuff.

I certainly hope they don't take you off spicy foods.....you'd have to say goodbye to Thai food :(

Nah! I only eat mildy spicy Thai food anyway.

Do you take much advil? I had to get over my advil addiction and it made a big difference; now I only take the hard stuff ;)

Take Advil only when I have a migraine, along with Mr.Brits mega-expensive migraine pills. Does the trick!

My ulcers were caused by the H.Pylori bacterium, so not really as a result of overusing NSAIDs, eating spicy food, stress, etc.. But, the Doc did tell me not to use NSAIDs as they irritate the stomach and could potentially cause the ulcers to bleed. Not a good thing.

to be honest, these ulcers haven't really given me much in teh way of angst. The first one I had ten years ago was a doozy. But, after treatment, it went away. I am fully confident that when I go back for my next egd it will be clear.

Heading off to bed myself now. Good night, Box.

After my UA experience at OTH, I swore I would never fly UA again.

Just booked MAF-IAH-SEA-DEN-MAF... with the two DEN segments on UA. I have obviously lost my mind.

Good night, box.

Your combined is my total from flying and that excludes 1/2 a IAH-FRA flight, a PRG-FRA flight, and my NYD EWR-CLT-IAH-OKC freebie flights!!

To those boxers that responded to my Chase comment earlier. THat was my sad excuse at sarcaism while packing!!

On the subject of packing. I am wrapping my pictures in 4 mil plastic sheeting to avoid them getting scratched during transport and storage!! Best idea I have had for packing in a while. One of these days I will hire real packers those. That is still the best idea but not the most affordable!!

Good night, box.

Happy packing, Scott.
