Going No Where Fast

It's Lewis and Clark Huni trying to make their way across Suttle Lake....where many have boldly gone before.

Today, we were visited by our financial advisor. His purpose in stopping by was to tell us how wonderful things were in the world...or rather how soon they would be getting better. We're learning alot about the economy...and why we'll never truly get ahead. I guess we should be grateful, our portfolio has gained back some of its lost glory--why do I still feel though like it's a robbery in progress. Guess until we really benefit from our discipline in saving, I feel like we're subsidizing the existence of those who never gave a thought to saving.

On a lighter note, we did enjoy an afternoon of American freedom on the shores and waters of Suttle Lake. We had fun launching log torpedoes at one another and cruising around the lake in the kayak. In fact, the kayak is still on top of the van hoping for another outing somewhere in paradise tomorrow. We may be relatively poor in some ways, but we are rich in what truly matters. Here's hoping you find some of that wealth wherever you are.
