Greetings 1.3

I thought I would give a little back story of myself as well as to say there is a method to the madness that appears in the blog. First off this is my second blog, my first blog I started sometime in early 2005 and continued until the website got bought out and the blogging service sequentially shut down :( Unfortunately I had not backed up my posts and ended up losing a over a year's worth of posts. After that because I was really focused on building on my investing knowledge and skill I decided to take a break from blogging, a long break as it turns out.

In the first week of August my sister and I spent some time with some good friends up in NY where the older siblings all contribute to a blog. Sarah thought this would be something fun for us to do and I rather reluctantly agreed to set up a blog for the both of us. I really had no intention of posting as much as I have, I had forgotten how much enjoyment I get writing my thoughts and experiences down. If you have read all the posts thus far ( I think maybe only bob has done this) then you probably have realized the thought posts out number the exciting experiences. Because my everyday experiences are less than exciting I tend to just post what happens to be on my mind at the time.

This is where the madness comes in, my brain is usually running at mach 5. When I sit down to write I typically have several thoughts all rushing around, I will just start typing and as I type an outline of the post will appear...Take my last post, I was just going to talk about how sleeping through your alarm is something that can get you in trouble. But, as I started typing I was reminded of my alter ego and how he would greatly add to my regular story of over sleeping thus sleepy Rufus made an appearance on here ;)

I am not sure how many people actually read this blog, it seems there are a lot of visitors but hardly ever any comments. I don't know if this is because my posts are just too wild for ordinary people or people just like to lurk. It does not really bother me either way, I have enjoyed posting the past couple of weeks and will continue to post if only for my own enjoyment in writing.
