Waikiki here we come!

We booked flights today for the whole crew...me & Kevin, Liz and Greg, and Chris and Maegan. The whole TAG Team...pun intended. Chris seemed excited and I have to say that he is doing a stellar job on the companion workbook to Todd's book for the seminar attendees. Maegan is his squeeze. We got to meet her last week and she seems really sweet...and WAY too skinny. We told Chris she needs to gain about 80 pounds before Hawaii.

A quick pond update - we got a new Plecko since the others died. He is HUGE. Gina thinks his size will help him no be so affected by the cold. I also did quite a bit of research on them and apparently, while they are algae eaters, they are a type of catfish and somewhat none discriminate in there foraging habits. I was a little concerned that he might not get enough to eat since we killed off all the algae. I discovered that the larger Pleckos like zucchini slices. So I went and bout a zucchini and followed the instructions posted on the Internet and softened them in the nuke-o-wave. I dropped in a couple yesterday but the fish ignored them. I was a little dejected, but today I go out and - no zucchini - and he was much more active than he's been. I deduced he was hunting for more zucchini so I dropped in a couple more. We'll see if he gobbles those too. Of course I didn't want a dog because they are a hassle to feed and here I am cooking zucchini for a fish....oh well..

The IRA book is coming out Oct 30 and you can get a copy on amazon or b&n or pretty much anywhere. I'm anxious to see it but I still think the cover stinks. I'm catching up on many other projects so I'm contemplating my next new project...I'm sure it will be in the financial area especially since the market is so ripe for it.

When you get so famous that you need a big hairy bodyguard to accompany you on these trips and cruises think of me.
