    What We’re Reading This Month – “NOTHING”

    By |2022-08-01T15:51:36+00:00July 28th, 2022|

    Every month we show what is on our reading table. This month we added no books; NOTHING. Nothing because we are still busy with much personal and business activity going on. Birthdays, homecomings, graduations, a commercial property in escrow, stabilizing our most recent purchase… “The Other Half of Church” (240 pages, paperback, 2020) [...]

          By |2022-06-28T23:11:59+00:00June 28th, 2022|

          Every month we show what is on our reading table. This month we added two books; both just recently published in May of this year. Not many added or read because we are still busy with much personal and business activity going on. Birthdays, homecomings, graduations, a commercial property in escrow (learn all  [...]

              Our May 2022 Standings – Encourage One Another

              By |2022-06-06T18:38:12+00:00June 5th, 2022|

              We are up $13K from last month. Oil stayed in 2nd place thanks to the ongoing international crisis in Ukraine. Oil has the distinction of going the lowest ($47,900 in April 2020) during the initial stages of the COVID panic and coming back the highest. And the stock market is hanging in there. [...]

                By |2022-06-02T15:47:26+00:00June 1st, 2022|

                Every month we show what is on our reading table. This month we only added two books. Too much personal and business activity going on. Birthdays, homecomings, graduations, two possible offers on commercial property, stabilizing our most recent purchase… “Flatland” (96 pages, paperback, 1992) by Edward Abbott: “This masterpiece of science (and mathematical) [...]

                    By |2022-05-03T15:56:10+00:00May 2nd, 2022|

                    We’re still in first place! But we had to correct a major error. Beware of large spreadsheets. We’re down $21K from last month’s reported value. But that’s because last month (going back to when?) we had an error in the calculation. Read more great spreadsheet humor and useful information at “Excel Spreadsheets Help”.We’ve fixed it [...]
