Things I learned last week:
- My cat has toe cheese. No kidding. That’s the term the vet used. But since Z has had her paw wrapped in a splint for over two weeks, a little toe cheese is to be expected.
- I don’t think a hotel is the right place to get married. Even really good hotels seem to have an institutional feel.
- I’m not very comfortable with gambling. I bought stock in three different companies. One of the companies seems solid, an excellent long-term investment. The other two are riskier. They have the potential to go up a lot, but they also have the potential to disappear into nothingness. When the market does poorly and everything goes down, my solid stock doesn’t worry me. The other two do, because I don’t know if they’ll ever go back up. I have no faith in them. And that, I guess, is the difference between investing and gambling. Investing requires faith.
