Business meeting this am.\u00a0 Looked at our IRA and Vanguard balances.\u00a0 Both healthy thanks to good planning and the recent surge in the market.\u00a0 Theses glances at our assets won’t be as much fun when the market heads south again, as it will.\u00a0 Right now though they’re cheering.\u00a0 I read an interesting article on whether it was better to start retirement when the market\u00a0 was strong or when it was undervalued.\u00a0 The consensus was that undervalued was better. I can’t recall why, but I imagine it had to do with a feeling of lack followed by a feeling of abundance rather than the reverse.\u00a0 The latter could lead to too quick a draw-down on accounts, leaving less money near the end of life.\u00a0 Ah, well.\u00a0 We’re well under the recommended minimum per year withdrawal from the IRA so far and we plan to keep it that way.<\/p>\n
Started three varieties of tomatoes this morning:\u00a0 Roma, Black Krim and a yellow variety.\u00a0 At the same time I started kale and chard, one variety each.\u00a0 They go under the lights now and wait just before the last frost (May 15 or so), kale and chard, and until after the last frost, the tomatoes.\u00a0 Wetting the potting soil resembles playing with mud, an early childhood memory trip.<\/p>\n
We checked calendars.\u00a0 This week’s a heavy one for me with political, artistic and bee-keeping meetings, plus a birthday dinner out for brother Mark at the Oceanaire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
