Sometimes I go months without posting anything here. That's not because I lose interest; it's because I have to work.
It's Dad's fault. In 1947 he could have bought 100 shares of National Halide for $400. Sometime in the 1970s he could have sold the 6,400 or so shares of Xerox that it became for about half a megabuck. Do that a few times, and I wouldn't have to work. I could spend my time here, or over in the Newsgroups, fishing.
This internet thing has more than its share of very wise women. Diana the Valkyrie once told me that if a picture exists, eventually it will show up in the Newsgroups. So far she's right. I need to mine the net more.
Alas, the wife and urchin expect me to produce some money. Drat!
So far I haven't figured out a way to make money off my hobby, which is a personal shortcoming of mine. I suppose I should have built a web site instead of a scad of Yahoo groups, but it's fun anyway. :)
