(I have a cold)

Today was Yom Kippur, day of atonement. It's been a pretty good year - I have been petty, sarcastic, selfish, guilt inflicting, and rude - perhaps even within the space of a single post on this blog! - but in the scheme of things, I haven't really done any great big wrongs this year. So that's good.

Today the Dow is making me sort of mad. I suppose I really can't blame people for PANICKING and running for the hills with whatever money they can scrounge. The future is as uncertain as it always has been - but now we're thinking about it much more.

I am figuring on telling all our finance companies to save a tree and stop printing our statements for awhile. It will give me a good excuse to call them all and see if they are still in business.

Meanwhile, I am trying to love the Dow. It's hard. Really hard. So my technique is to think of something Dow that I can love. The scrubbing bubble from Dow Bathroom Cleaner. Who doesn't love the scrubbing bubble? He happily cleans off your soap scum, saving you thankless hours. I love those little guys.
