Sat Morning

Going to look at some dogs today. Been a rough year around the Wolfe household as we have lost three of our dear pets (actually a rough 18 months). Looking at all the pictures of the dogs at the rescue agencies makes me both happy and sad. Happy that I know we'll be giving an animal a great home (seriously, you don't even understand how much we spoil them). Sad because I can't save them all. In other news, I'm heading to Vegas next week with a group of friends for the opening weekend of March Madness. Cannot wait. On to it.

Absolutely disgusting dunk by J.R. Smith.

Woman turns three shares of Abbott into $7 million simply by reinvesting dividends.

Athletes going broke stories. "Almost 80 percent of National Football League players are flirting with bankruptcy two years after they retire, according to Sports Illustrated. NBA players aren’t faring much better. 60 percent of former National Basketball Association players end up broke within five years of retirement."

Some light weekend reading of the Examiner's Report on the Lehman meltdown. Here's a good short version. The report is 2200 pages long, but I'm definitely going to slog through it.

Add Tom Hanks to the list of morons in Hollywood.

HeeHee.

Felix Salmon said this is the best thing written about regulation of credit default swaps, so read it.

The new Audi R8 Spyder, yet another car I will never own.
