I wonder if the B’head position is still “I have a gold wedding ring, har har” or “They hawk gold coins on commercials on Fox News, therefore all sales of the commodity constitute a hoax.” Well, maybe they’re right. Maybe the price will come back down to earth. Right now, though, I’m very glad to be...

What?? And you call yourself Canadian Well, I guess they are before your time.

Bought a sliver of long bonds. I’m under weight.

Reading about glide bombs in the Financial Times. Pretty depressing.

My wife is obsessed with their show, ‘Peep Show.’
Anyway, Smith, tell me that Rush’s 2112 still has a chance in your plans

Wait- was he known for something else?

Invented by a Canadian-American, basketball.

Swimmingly.

Have you figured out some fun new dates? Or, are you guys blasting the opening to Rush 2112 on the way to Tim Hortons for scones, and then a game of curling. Actually, that doesn’t sound so bad.

Oh, that’s the Social Capital guy. I thought that was a picture of you

And finally it’s not moving in lockstep with stocks, which *may* be down because of skepticism of rate cuts. Or maybe it’s just a pullback after a strong quarter.

Just the usual. Suffering, but no pranks

Why not
Well, maybe the occasional fractional gold. “Expensive” and yet palatable.

I see a lot of gold bullion on sale at Apmex today, but due to the price rise I can't even think about it.

Maybe you can ask Jack Jones about Ruby on Rails. He doesn’t seem to talk to be directly these days, but he appears to know a lot of computery stuff. (e.g. gave me tips on emacs).

Dualstow, have you ever tried Ruby on Rails? Never have. Someday. I’ll be out of town soon and when I get back, I hope to get back into python. Also want to build a PC this spring — nothing powerful or liquid cooled. O0 Just something with a lot of RAM that will last a while and dual-boot Windows a...

Happy Easter
I shudder to think what kinds of candy you’re eating this week.

There are some people & orgs whom I cannot add to a list.
Some lists are also maxing out. I guess this glitch is why I abandoned lists in the past. I’ll have to retry on the desktop.
