My Schedule…and a little extra:  They came from Minneapolis where the weather is better than San Diego…my Mom and Dad are in town this week.  My Dad packed only shorts since in Minneapolis it’s been nearly 80 degrees all last week.  Good thing I called Mom and told her to make sure my 79-year old Dad wore pants on the flight out here.   Mystery Lyric:  Well, I’ve been afraid of changing, cause I’ve built my life around you — But time makes you bolder, even children get older and I’m getting older too — Yes I’m getting older too — Answer.   My Market Watch:  There are no economic reports today and it’s a light week…I’m glad to have a little breather after all the volatility lately.  Rates seem to be about the same as Friday but worried that things are getting worse…not sure why yet….   My Schedule:  Behind the computer all day but working in coffee shops while I chauffeur my parents around….
