I was in the process of locating my granddaughter's blog when suddenly, without intending to do so, I found myself creating a blog of my own, quite accidentally. So here I am, and because I have lived a long time, had many experiences, and hopefully learned from them, I will share my views on stock market investing, politics, the role of government, tax reform, real property appraisal, the economy, business, and entrepreneurship . . . and anything else that pops up in which I have interest and experience.
