  Slowly But Surely

  
  

  I have finally managed to transfer the pictures from the Italy trip onto my computer. That is only because the memory cards needed to be emptied for a photoshoot I’d arranged with a friend. When my friend isn’t working he has a side job as a film extra and a casting agency required some up-to-date headshots so he came to me. The photoshoot turned out to be quite fun with 236 shots taken, all in the Raw format. Once the headshots were out of the way, he’d posed for me without requiring much direction. I guess without any added pressure the enjoyment is enhanced.

  
  

  As there is a deadline for the submission of the photos, my next day off will be spent post-processing his headshots. And then I will work on the Italian pictures. The photoshoot only served to exemplify my admiration of wedding photographers in their organisation under pressure to capture defining moments of the occasion. And the speed of delivering the finished product.

  If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $42 left.

  
  

  With Lehman, you would have $6.60 left.

  
  

  With Fannie or Freddie, you would have less than $5 left.

  
  

  But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.
  
  Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
  
  It’s called the 401-Keg…..
