I cut, paste, and edit my computer life, operate email, write software, and invest. I have great expectations for tomorrow. Until then, my main goal is to be a positive influence on the lives of the people I love and fully participate in this mystery we call .... life.
In the pre-crisis days, I used to write about things like P/E ratios, secular bull and bear markets, valuations, and all of the things we used to think about in the Old Normal.
But what about those topics as we begin our trip through the New Normal? It’s time to reconvene class and think through what might change and what will remain the same.

Avatar has raked in over $2.7 billion worldwide in the box office due to its groundbreaking technology and beautiful scenery.
What most people don’t know is that much of Pandora’s landscape was modeled after a real place – Zhangjiajie in the Hunan province of China.
The gorgeous quartz-sandstone pillars of Zhangjiajie (specifically, the 3,544 foot high “Southern Sky Column”) became the basis for the floating “Hallelujah Mountains” of Pandora.
