1. Spread it around. I keep a bit in mutual funds, quite a bit more in individual equities, and now I have some property. Mix up your equities or types of sectors if you want to buy more specific investments, or if you’re risk averse, go with a broad market mix like the S&P 500 (SPX), which is generally the safest way…

Me too! My only regret is that the manual mower gets jammed by sticks all the time.

That’s right on the light rail line too. 

As a Cardinals fan (somehow, still), it’s been fascinating to watch the team’s fan sites swing from despair to elation and back (and forth) over the past few weeks. Merely having the first overall pick nearly destroyed the fanbase. The Murray stans and Rosen stans were in open war for months. Curiously, at the end…

He almost overthrows two of those 10 yard routes... 

I can’t recommend this enough. My favorite meal in Tunisia was in a little hovel that some random dude recommended in the old souq in Tunis - I had half of a lamb’s head (Ra’s Ghanem) and my son got a whole Dorade/Sea Bream (for like $3). The fish had been marinated, grilled, and doused in a spice mixture and was…

So true.

If you’re flying alone and have a top tier frequent flier status (which I somehow managed once in my life since I live overseas and had to travel back and forth for conferences) this can actually work in your favor.

Victoria is the best of the lot, but I’ve grown less opposed to Sol after having to drink the leftovers when someone buys one of those ill-conceived Costco Mexican beer bricks for summer parties.

I live in Ireland, where the tax bracket is 20% up to 42,000 Euro and 40% after that.

Ignore the smell, or keep it in a bag submerged in water inside another larger bag. 

Sweet Jesus 

I kept waiting for pulled pork, but shockingly that may have to be signed as an UDFA. The Cubano and Banh Mi were inspired choices. I could definitely go with a Reuben as the first selection, though I have a weird preference for cole slaw over sauerkraut. Apparently there’s a different name for that.

Right? 

Yeah, that was a bit lame. Carol clearly didn’t need any help after her entrance was single handedly obliterating Thanos’ giant freaking spaceship. 

Now the comments section of the Cardinals sports blogs can go from thinly veiled anti-Semitism to regular ol’ racism again. 

My kid and I started this at an early age. I was small and often picked on as a kid, but wrestled in high school and wound up with a lot of confidence as I got older because of it. He is possibly even smaller, but he never lacked the enthusiasm for battle that I did.

Not only did our wrestling (and sparring later)…

Only if you use electronic tracking and sneak around behind them shouting helpful guidance. 

Yep...

Thank god we have copper wiring or we’d be dealing with the rewire a lot sooner than we’d hoped. Fortunately, they replaced the old circuit box when they refurbished the place.
