Aug. 11, 2015

Woke up to pee and I thought I should get up to work on book Wisdom of a Dad. I decided last night to work from home after seeing the weather forecast prediction of rain.

Work

At 4:30 had a meeting with group of people on some data sent to the Fed. My boss's boss and I and 3 others were on the conference call. I wanted to record the call on our system at work but didn't. Dubby is very smart and knows so much about how we do things. She has an understanding of the data and systems. At first Manuel wanted to meet with me without Dubby, but it would have been a waste of time.

I'd like to find out how Dubby got her knowledge.

I walked 3 miles from Wall Street to Penn Station. Was sweating extremely at Penn Station waiting for the train to Hicksville which was switched from track 13 it's normal track to track 14.

My wife who usually drives me to the station, dropped the car off for me because she went to the city for a Cornell meeting with my son. I brought my dog to the station and walked her. She was very scared due to a black guy with a deep and booming voice cursing with anger into his cell phone. When my family came down the stairs she pepped up and got back to normal.

Having a clear goal makes decisions very simple. My goal is to finish my book Wisdom of a Scott. I feel tired and want to take a nap but I could take a 5 hour energy shot and continue working on the book.

Health

I read an article about the Bulletproof coffee not being safe. The author said that we didn't evolve to eat that much fat and the diet was missing nutrients since you're basically skipping breakfast. This made some sense to me as I'm thinking about trying something different after my book project is finished.

News

I was pretty unaware of the news yesterday but I think there are problems in Ferguson, Missouri due to the anniversary to the shooting of an unarmed black youth by the police. Someone shot at the police and they fired back.  There has been a lot of these types of shootings lately.

Stocks

Dow was up 241 points to 17,615. I'm mostly in cash since the big run up and have money with HSGFX which has done terribly. My big fear is that I'll move money out of his fund, the market will crash.

China devalued it's currency by 2%.
