Fabulous Food Show

The Fabulous Food Show returned to Cleveland November 9-11. I took advantage of being a pourer volunteer for the Cleveland Wine School. The volunteer perks included free admission to the show, lunch, parking, and a tee-shirt. While I thought I was going to be pouring wine, I got assigned to pour beer instead. All of my life I have never been much of a beer drinker. But by the end of the night, I believe I drank more samples of beer than I've drank my entire life. Fortunately, this beer pouring experience gave me a new appreciation for beer that certainly never existed before.

Opportunity Knocks...

I'm answering. My director at work put together a stock market challenge for my new department using paper trades. I'm enjoying the challenge so much that I'm going to give it a shot in real trading. A couple of months ago, I took advantage of some credit card balance transfers and lower interest rates. This freed up some OPM (other people's money) that I'm going to use for trading.

I've really got that gleam in my eye to make it happen; becoming debt free, buying a home, early retirement. It's not going to happen tomorrow, but it is going to happen. I can feel it!!!
