Nothing new

Not much new to report here. I'm going to a Smashing Pumpkins concert in Indianapolis with Ally on Oct. 6th. The tickets were a birthday present from my mom. I guess they are technically from my dad too. Awwww, aren't they sweet. Sure beats the CD I got her for her birthday. At least we are both spending responsibly within our means. Speaking of that, it looks like I should have at least 2 and maybe 3 new clients by the end of October bringing my total investment management client base to 9. I may surpass $2.5 million in assets too. I have to say that I'm pretty happy with how things are going so far. Especially since I haven't put much (any) effort into marketing yet. I want to make sure I have everything running smooth before I really get the word out. October should also be a good month for the business because it will be the first month that I will be sending out real invoices and, therefore, earning revenue. I guess technically I've already earned it and now I want to collect it.

I am going back to Michigan tomorrow for the second weekend in a row. This time for my Grandma's 90th birthday, which makes her almost 3 times as old as me. It seems like I've seen and experienced a lot already but it's nothing compared to her. The thought of living to 90 motivates me to keep eating healthy and exercising so I can still be active at that age like she is. Maybe I'll spend another year building Habitat houses in my 80s. Now that's a goal.

It's been tough to be a Tigers fan this past month but it was still a good year. Now I'll have to support the local team in their quest for the playoffs and the Series. It would be interesting just being around here if the Cubs were to actually win it all. Would there be riots? Would all the Northside yuppies be tearing out their granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances and throwing them off the balconies they don't use into the streets? Would all the fans from Iowa be burning dried cornstalks in the intersection of Clark and Addison? Or would they be flipping and burning all the VW Jettas and Passats in Lincoln Park? I hope so because it would be fun to watch. It is unlikely though. It is more likely that all the ex-frat boys up in Wrigleyville will just burn a couple of couches in the alleys and piss on some buildings just like the good ole days back at MSU. Have a nice weekend!!
