Now What.....

A couple of random thoughts for tonight:

Fed Interest rates at 0-1/4%...
Stimulus package of $850B - $1000B under consideration...
OPEC voes to cut oil production by 2M barrels/day...
Folks at work finally got their power back today (day 6), but not everyone was so "lucky"...
Number One Son is home from college for the holidays....
Number One Daughter is on the mend from her Novo-bout...
Tiger can hit the ball again...
You can now own your own Space Shuttle, although you will have to wait a couple of years...
And this is apparently the worst shopping season in decades, with weird weather all over the place, and gloom firmly control of the American psyche...

But...we are only 1 week away from Christmas, three days from Hanukkah, and still in control of our own happiness and destiny. When I look at my kids, I am proud and amazed at their convictions, desires, hopes, and dreams. They love life, their friends, this country, and their parents. They have great hopes for their futures and great plans for their success. In this season of reflection and hope, they are nothing else if not hopeful. And they are right!

So here's to Hope...

Cheers!
Cheers
