Help Me Pick a Race Shirt!

Time spent on book: 1 hour so far, but for some reason I felt like blogging What I did: Revising chapter 1 Grade for the day: Pending -------------------- The blogging fell off this week. But I have a good excuse. I was asked to write for another blog, a task that I thought would consume an afternoon. But I got ambitious. So instead of blogging here, I devoted my attention to finishing that. The post should be available next week. I will share it then. It will change your life. Meanwhile, I did manage to learn something about myself from this. When I blog here, I can usually hit publish with limited difficulty. I don't always feel the necessity to tell a coherent story. And proofreading is optional. If the outlet is elsewhere, though, all of my neurotic impulses bubble to the surface. The lesson, I suppose, is to never, ever write anywhere but here. Anyway... As I mentioned before , this weekend is the Erie Marathon. It's a two loop course around Presque Isle S

Guest Post on Puppy Mills

The following is a post from my 10-year-old daughter, Ruth. She is very passionate about this topic and she wanted me to share this with as many people as possible. ------------------------------ A puppy mill makes female dogs have litter after litter of puppies to sell. The workers don't care about their health or treatment, they only care about the money. The puppies are separated from their mothers, then piled in cages. You may know about puppy mills and you may not. Either way, they are awful places. Some puppies are driven in a truck, like apples or corn. Fortunately, puppy mills are regulated in Pennsylvania. Sooo... we're all good -right? Well, that's not the case. Puppy Mills may be regulated in some states, but in the chart below, it shows that twenty other states don't have any laws against them!

For this Installment of Media Catchphrase Bingo... Inflection Point

Wikipedia tells me that this is a diagram of an inflection point. I'm not sure if you knew this, but we are at a point. And not just any point. We are, quite clearly, at an... INFLECTION POINT I mean, just look at the markets ! A rise in stocks since the late December lows, a flat yield curve and U.S. China trade negotiations are creating an inflection point for the market. And don't forget about oil . Is US oil storage now at an inflection point ? [Spoiler: Yes] Or the streaming industry . Netflix is a battleground stock. The streaming giant's meteoric rise has long elicited a passionate discussion across the investment community from both sides of the bull-bear coin. The company has also reached an inflection point . But really, it's all about politics. [Michael Cohen’s testimony] was a made-for-TV drama in the middle of a television
