This past Monday my boss announced to our clients that we will be closing all the funds at the end of the year and becoming a family office. The announcement was met with lots of good wishes from many people throughout the industry. It was interesting to watch my boss on Halftime Report with Scott Wapner as Scott had reached out to a few of the ( Read more... )

There has been a lot going on at the office. Monday is going to be a day from hell but I'll have to post about that another time ( Read more... )

So I am watching animal planet and I am always so amazed at the dedication that some people have to animals.  I could never imagine giving up my family to dedicate my life to the welfare of a specific animal.  I would still need to have my family around me.

I am in awe of someone who has that deep of a cconnection to animals.

Yikes, I have not updated this journal in a few weeks! A lot has been going on. The summer is in full swing and that means lots of BBQs, family parties, bridal and baby showers, etc ( Read more... )

Had a totally fucked up day.  I'm just too tired to post about it right now.  I am off tomorrow, enjoying a well deserved glass of wine, and wondering how much longer I can do this 5 day work week.  

It finally looks as though we will have a decent weekend with regard to weather. The past few have been a very mixed bag. One day unbearable with high temps and 95% humidity and then the next day 60F and rain. This has not been a very nice spring ( Read more... )

I don't believe I've posted since before Mother's day. We went to my daughter's home for a BBQ. Her in-laws were there as well and we had a very nice lunch. The weather was absolutely awful but since she has a nice screened-in porch with plenty of seating, we spent the afternoon in there. At one point after eating, Julie said it was time to ( Read more... )

I'm about 90% sure now that the company will be shutting down the hedge fund side at the end of the year and moving towards a family office. I have not been told officially (no one here has been) so this is all speculation. It means that most of the people working here will be let go except for about ten. I may or may not be let go. I'm not too ( Read more... )

So I spent most of Saturday and Sunday morning at my brother's house taking care of the kids. I took Madelyn, Lindsey, and Lindsey's friend, Bella, to Wal-Mart and let them buy whatever junk candy they wanted. Then I picked up a few bags of chips, etc. and some bacon for Sunday morning breakfast. I then drove Madelyn to her friend Zoey's home ( Read more... )
