The Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center in New York was erected today. Christmas already? Really?
Your Mom has been walking with me at the Mall. She had other committments today so I walked alone. One of my Mall buddies asked me where the “Training Director” was today?
The world was all “a-Twitter” yesterday. For those of you with the “fastest fingers in the west, midwest, and east”, you could have bought Twitter’s stock for the first time yesterday. The stock was issued to the public. It began yesterday trading at $26/share. It ended the day at $44/share. You could have made 73% in one day. What is interesting is that the company has never made a profit. In fact, in the last three months it lost $68 million. The world is betting that you fast fingered consumers will stay hooked on the 140 character (or less) drill. The world is also betting on overwhelming you guys with advertising. Google has advertising. Facebook increasingly has advertising. Now, Twitter will have lots and lots of advertising.
The current ruling party in Washington has apologized for misleading the public about “if you want your existing health insurance, you can keep you health insurance”. Obviously you can’t. Hey but what the hell, there was an apology!
When you buy a new TV you don’t reduce the number of remote controls that you have. Same number. Better result.
Badgers play BYU at home tomorrow. The temperature should be in the low 50’s at game time . Good football weather. We have family members attending.
Don’t try to tweet me! My life is already “a-twitter” without being tethered to a cell phone.
Love,
Dad
