Update

Back on 6/26/2007, I swapped another $2,000 from Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund into VTSMX for Retiree Portfolio I. For now, it seems adequately-timed as markets have generally increased since then.

That puts us a mere $4,000 left to flesh out the retiree's complete VTSMX position. Dare I say I cannot wait.

Being a new Yelp fledgling, I sauntered over to reviews of a venture I had an opportunity to participate (exclusive SF cafe) but circumstantially didn't. I couldn't believe that the drama I'd heard about via the grapevine had boiled onto the public scene. What's totally ironic is how the business has been closed down for many months, and even so, a fire broke out in that same complex a couple months ago, with my clinically insane friend's dreams of riches literally going up in flames.

I've been toying around with the thought of paying off one of my car loans early. Kind of siding towards the Subaru.

Speaking of which, I'll need to follow up with my request for a refund of the Gold Plus Warranty that the previous Subaru owner transferred to me. I could net an extra $2K if it's approved.

To make a rather drawn-out, boring story short and sweet, MT and I attempted to pick up 2 Southern CA foreclosure properties, but ultimately ended up having just one.

Winder Court seems to have escaped the extensive Texan flooding that had ravaged MT's Pearblossom property. Sometimes I wonder why we're having such good luck with Winder Court-- not that I care not to continue like this.

One of the reasons I've been insanely busy is because a Chicago buddy stayed for a couple of weeks to coincide with some of my absence here. I believe we did a tremendous amount of sightseeing and touristy stuff. Preliminarily, it appears I might've spent somewhere between $500-$700-- which is usually the amount spent in one wild night of partying in Hollywood!

There might be a couple other opportunities that would force me to revive my S-corp that I thought I'd kill off by year-end. Should they occur, developments will transpire in the next couple of weeks.
