Country Club Living

Fall                                                                     Harvest Moon

Just back from Golden Valley Country Club.  Not my usual haunt.  This was a luncheon put on by our financial manager, RJ Devick et al.  Interesting presentation by a guy from JP Morgan saying that the economic outlook has good spots:  corporate profits, medium spots:  growth and jobs and medium to weak but improving:  housing.  He foresees continued growth and a genuine wrestling with the country’s financial situation after the election.  The economy has improved every year under Obama’s administration and the deficit has shrunk.

Also, a presentation on metabolic medicine by a very sharp woman doc.  Will probably be taking some of her recommendations by mouth.

Both of these presentations were worthwhile but neither the setting nor the crowd were mine.  A lot of nervous retirees focused on the bad in the economy and the bad in their health.  Good way to generate gloom.  Bah, humbug.
