Financial Markets ala Bill Maher
http://www.hbo.com/billmaher/new_rules/
"New Rule: Stop calling what's happening to the financial markets "an adjustment." An adjustment is something you do in your sweatpants when your penis falls out of your underwear. This is a cluster-f*ck."
I love Bill Maher...

Some days just suck & crazy parent rant
In addition, took my darling teenage daughter to a friend’s for a 2-night sleepover b-day party last night and realized (when I got home from my glorious day of OT and the phone was almost dead) that MY phone charger was gone and was most likely with her (we have the same type of phone). She, of course, left HER plug at a friend’s house in S. Buffalo last weekend. So, I call her from the house phone - because mine is now completely dead - and yell at her for a while as she tries giving me some crap like “well, I don’t know if I have it; maybe it’s in my bag, I have to check but we’re out and the bag’s back at the house†- blah, blah, blah. Teenagers are so incredibly full of crap sometimes. Of course, she was supposed to call me back and hasn’t, and, she now has her phone set so that it goes right to voice mail. Like that’s somehow going to make things better - duh - can you say ostrich? Well, I have now left her several messages, each a little escalated in its nastiness. When I pick her up tomorrow I’m going to try really hard not to be a screaming maniac and will simply take a deep breath, take back my plug, and take her phone, which, if she manages not to act like a butt, she might get back in a couple of weeks - or not. Arrrrrgggghhhh! (yelling - sorry)
Anyway - some days just suck - that's all.

Somethin tells me it's all happenin...
OK - so I went to the Buffalo Zoo Sunday with some friends and family. Of course, it was raining (drizzle) - because it always rains when I try to plan an outdoor activity - but it didn’t even matter. Despite the rain, we all had a great time! The new Rain Forest Exhibit was so cool (well, warm really), I will definitely go back to see it again. The only real drawback for the day was, we didn’t arrive until 2:00 and they were starting to close down around 5:00. We didn’t have time to see the giraffes (which I love), so I guess that gives me the perfect excuse to go back soon.
Following is just a little peek at some stuff we saw, but the pix don’t really do it justice. (note: the really blue pic is a bat cave with a bat)

Rambling: aka talking & I can't shut up
Anyway, tonight is meet the teachers night at my daughter’s high school. We have to run through a “mini†schedule of their day, which means from 6:00 - 7:30 I’ll get a torturous aerobic workout every 7 minutes running up and down stairs and around her school building trying to find her classes. She thought I should do it carrying her backpack and laptop with me so I could “see what it’s really like,†but I think using my imagination is perfectly fine.
MrMike, if you're reading, I hope you enjoy your Milwaukee trip. My old job required me to travel. Sometimes you get some good ones, sometimes they kind of suck. My favorite ever work trip was to New Orleans but it was way too short and I didn’t have near enough time to do and see all that I wanted to. Loved the French Quarter. It was amazing how the city seemed to have a life of it’s own. Someday I'll go back. Sorry...I digressed! At least the Harley Davidson thing sounds cool. How’s the Rain Forest exhibit? Are you getting a ton of people? I really want to see it. I still haven’t seen the elephants since they came back. Guess I’m overdue for a trip to the zoo.
Well that’s all my rambling for now (I know, thank god, right?). I better get going to meet the teachers.
Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!!!

Incidentally this is why I don't bother to date ANY girls in Buffalo. I don't have time for that immaturity, and believe me, Buffalo is packed to the rafters with girls with oversized attitude. I'm sure your niece is a fine young lady, but snapping on someone that would approach her is shocking behavior for any human being, full stop.
