I have had some short trips but it would be nice to have an extended vacation. But since I live paycheck to paycheck that isn't likely to happen any time soon.

I have traveled a great deal, but I am happiest when I am sitting in my office reading, studying, thinking, and writing.Ross Lonerganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425058539248402978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712013839596084449.post-81898287451311948522010-09-04T13:16:19.558-07:002010-09-04T13:16:19.558-07:00Well, at least I don't live high on the hog. ...Well, at least I don't live high on the hog. I don't smoke or drink or really go out much. And I haven't been out of the town that I live in since 1969 when I spent a couple of weeks at my grandmother's. How sad is that? However, I hope that I can travel a little after I retire.Mareczkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13122584421854834046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712013839596084449.post-29923889920572828142010-09-04T13:02:06.653-07:002010-09-04T13:02:06.653-07:00Thank you. When I read over the post last night, I...Thank you. When I read over the post last night, I thought it was a bit over the top and perhaps too smugly Canadian (the recession did not hit us quite as hard). But my comments about responsibility were directed universally (including, as always, to myself), not just at Americans.Ross Lonerganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425058539248402978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712013839596084449.post-45256931197281580412010-09-04T10:31:26.394-07:002010-09-04T10:31:26.394-07:00This is a very interesting commentary.

CEO's are getting nice bonuses off my interest and late fees.Mareczkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13122584421854834046noreply@blogger.com
