    Stock Market Resiliency

    I'm amazed at how the stock market is recovering from the impacts of the pandemic.  It's almost gained back half the losses taken during March.  Once this virus is behind us, is it unreasonable to think the Dow could be at 35K within a year from now?

    I basically use my 401k to determine how things are going... stock related for sure, and as of now its only down $1,600 from the beginning of the year. Not bad considering everything.

    Uber is your friend! Unless you don’t like riding in a Petrie dish, of course. Pick a place near home....

     

    I used to have lunch out every day, almost always sitting at the bar. I’m very comfortable there, and often don’t leave for hours! I eat late (3pm or later), read my book and before you know it the early Happy Hour crowd rolls in! Voila! New instant best friends arrive! 

     

    My wife is generally not one to sit at a bar unless we can’t get a table. She rarely drinks, two glasses of wine is a rare and crazy night. I pick up her slack, I’m a team guy!

    It looks like some places in Georgia are slowly opening up... don't know why the tattoo parlors would be included but whatever.

    As the quarantine measures start to dissolve - what is your first in person order at your favorite restaurant? I am torn between a classic Reuben and chimichanga. Wings and beef on week do not count.

    I pretty much eat beef every week so no problem there.

    Truly can not think of one that I had a chance to go and did not and regret it...has to be some, just cannot remember

     

    Funny you say the Dead..one of my most disappointing shows, but prolly more my fault than theirs. It was in the Aud, sometime between 78 and 80..winter. I had done a double for swim, got out of afternoon practice and str8 in car to the Aud, mayhaps smoked something and and some libations on the way..and i fell asleep during the concert. 

     

    Worst was prolly Steven Stills in the early 80's .

    Wow, that's amazing... one guy I never got to see, love the CSN&Y stuff, Manassas, solo work. Was it the sound... or was it an acoustic show?  I get it though, I've seen Steve Miller a few times, different decades, and every one of the concerts sucked. He got into the habit of bringing on a guest "somebody" that no one had ever heard of and that was like half the show.

     

    Worst ever though was Nazareth in 1981 or so... was looking forward to Hair of the Dog, stuff like that but it was probably the worst clunker ever, worse than Steve Miller. 

     

    I can't really think of one I missed but wanted to go to... but I'm sure there were some.

    I know that the Doobie Brothers were from California, but I don’t think there were any actual brothers in the band. It’s not them, is it?

    Not the Doobies.

    A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.

    The boy asked, 'What is this Father?'

    The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, 'Son,I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is.'

    While the boy and his father were watching with amazement,a fat old lady in a motorized cart moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially.
    They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. The doors opened and a young blonde stepped out.
    The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son..... 'Go get your Mother'
