A funny thing happened to me on the way to writing my posts this morning.  Just as I was sitting down at the PC my wife called to tell me that she had located a rat in a box in her warehouse.  I won’t go into all of the details about her warehouse except to say that she builds and maintains hands-on science kits for 5 school districts and over 1000 teachers.  Needless to say, having rats and their leavings in those kits is not a good thing.  So, being sort of retired I had time to go down and help with the rat remediation project.  The bad news is that about 50 science kits are almost a total loss and need to be rebuilt.  The good news is that there are now 5 fewer adult rats and 5 fewer baby rats.  Unfortunately, we know of two rats that escaped our efforts and are still somewhere in the warehouse plus one other that escaped into the parking lot.  There are probably more but that may be something for a future tale.

What does any of this have to do with stocks or options?  Well, nothing but I just thought you might like to know what keeps a sort of retired person busy some days. 

Now to the business of updating my trading activity.
