My Schedule…and a Little Extra:  I want my wife to say yes to everything.  I want breakfast in bed after the kids jump on top of me to wake me up.  I want pancakes or waffles.  I want a hike. I want gifts made by my children and I want a performance, any performance.  I want a relaxing day without any drama.  I want dessert, more than once.  I want to tell my Dad how much I love him which is a lot, more than you can imagine.  I want to tell my father-in-law I love him except I can’t tell him that because he doesn’t like that kind of stuff and he’d probably hang up on me.  I want new quality sunglasses.  I want new shoes.  I want dinner at a restaurant.  I want a beverage at dinner and not have to drive home.  I want a big squeeze-hug from each of my kids just before they go to bed.  Happy Father’s Day!

My Mystery Quote:  A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again.  A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt. A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail —  Answer

My Market Watch:  It’s all about Greece.  Elections are Sunday.  From what I’m reading there is all kinds of speculation of what the markets will do depending on who wins.  Next week there is a Fed meeting…it will be very interesting to hear what is expected from the meeting and then what they actually say….  Disclaimer
