First Blog

It Thursday  (1-13-11)..  Been out of school for 3 days now because of snow..  Good thing I have my computer games and Edenpure heater.
  A little about me.  I'm Ken.  Been married for going on 28 years.  I have two kids.  One is out of college and is getting married this June and the other is in her 3rd year at MSSU (Dental Hygiene).  So we are in the boom-a-rang effect with kids, they keep coming home about every weekend to eat and do their laundry, then take off again.  Sometimes they make off with a little cash or gas.
  I'm on my second career as a teacher.  My first career was with the Coast Guard.
  I really like the outdoors.  My favorite hobby is fishing and hunting.  After that, about anything that is on or in the water.  Can't wait for the warm weather to come back. 
  I also enjoy playing around on the computer.  I like playing strategy games.  The big one right now is Starcraft II.  Sounds kind of wierd, but there has been a bunch of us that have played the game for years.  Since we live in different states now, we keep in touch through the game.
  The latest book I finished was "Payback Time" by Phil Town.  It's an investment book.  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=payback+time
I read the first book and followed his strategies, and have done pretty good. 21% return over 3 years.

  1. Wow, is this Ken?!?! I didn't hold my breath but very glad you're now online!!! I like investment anything. I'll have to see if it's in the library. My last big purchase was Whole Foods... 358% return since the stock dump (2 years?) ain't bad ;)

    After college I played 11th hour or something like that. It was great, mystery, clues, etc. Then I got to the last part and couldn't open up the thing that was suppose to open. Very mad at the game!

  2. Hiya Ken! I kinda guessed right off the bat that you like fishing, haha. I know what you mean about SCII, I get the same experience from WoW. It's not so much the game as the people you know that just happen to play the game.

  3. 21% return over three years. With the economy the way it is, that sounds good.
