Good day... And a Marvelous Monday to you... Hopefully, your Monday is working out better than mine has so far... I'm writing from home, with all kinds of technical difficulties this morning. I had car problems and had to turn around and come home. Now, I've not been able to 'connect'... This is starting out about as bad as my trip home from Vancouver on Friday that turned into Saturday!

Not that you read the letter to hear about my travel problems, but I had to stay the night in Dallas, and fly home Saturday... UGH! So, I'm still beat, and now I have this car problem to deal with as soon as I get this ready to go out!...

Good day... And a Marvelous Monday to you! WOW! What a great weekend enjoyed by yours truly... Lots of friends, to share good times with! The weather tried to ruin everything, but we didn't let it! I'll begin this week's Pfennigs with a little story that happened this morning...

I arrived in the parking garage across the street from our building, not exactly the best situation for someone that's partially crippled and has a blood clot in their leg, but that's a story for another day. I got out of my car, and said, 'Hmmm... Wouldn't it be nice to see the euro trading with a 1.22 handle this morning?' Then said, 'Nah, it didn't look too good on Friday.'......

Good day... And a Terrific Tuesday to you! I hit the "wall" yesterday about 2 o'clock... All the fun and sun of the weekend, became the wall, and I hit it square on! But I'm well rested now, so here we go!

Front and Center this morning... Gold has reached a new all-time high this morning. Yesterday I kept watching the shiny metal tick higher and higher, and I would yell out across the desk each rise in Gold... Gold was $1,250 when I turned on the screens this morning. It has given back $2 since, as I did some reading and research, but Shoot Rudy, the move yesterday was something to admire!...
