Hey Miss Victoria: Only "6" messages? Hmmmm.
Guess ya shoulda seen me in my natural prime.
Heck, i used to post 6 messages a day. Actually more.
Of course, that was before .... well, it was before a lot of things.
There has never been a group anything like the BogleHeads.
Not even close. And for that, i'm grateful.
It's simply the best.
I know it, you know it, and the American people know it.
Thanks for the memories,

Ref: BogleHeads 11: Thank You !!!
Yes, well, it was indeed the greatest time on record. I've attended all 11 reunions thus far, c'mon: HOW fantastically blessed can a guy BE ??!? And they are all tied for #1 -- but my favorite BH reunion is always the next one. And i'll be mighty happy to be there. Again this year, to be there, i had to take leave (of my senses) and take some time off from my 1st job as 2nd cook at a 3rd rate joint on 4th Street. Trust me when i say, the best part of every BH reunion is the people there. I'm on board with investment discussions and financial education, sure, but we could also focus on BH Olympic beach volleyball and i'd still be .... fascinated. Taylor, you nailed it yet again. We were, and still are, truly in the presence of greatness. Eve...

Re: UPDATE TO BOGLEHEADS 11 ANNOUNCEMENT
Taylor & Pat, March 2000, terrific hospitality at their Miami condo [after the Miami Herald Bird-Cage Liner Money Show -- where we saw the spectacle of a certain TV investment huckster windbag "Jim Cramer" speaking after the great & venerable Jack Bogle (where i learnt about the CROUPIER)]. Mere words fail me, Taylor. It was the best of times at Taylor & Pat's, and we all have the very fondest memories of that momentous occasion. DieHard Mell and i are the last two BogleHeads to have had the honor & privilege of attending all 10 BogleHead conventions thus far (several have missed only one, or two). Fingers crossed, hoping for early release for good behavior, i might just make it to #11. The highlight of my year, ev...

Save the separate rats -- don't spend it.
Hey GI: If you are drawing separate rations (a food allowance paid to those who don't have a meal card for meals in the mess hall), consider this advice: set up a special (non-IRA) investment account for the exact amount of the separate rats. Allot the sep rats amount every month. Do this the entire time you are drawing separate rats. Let it compound & grow.
Feed yourself out of your basic pay.
After all, what other job pays you for meals?? Very few, it seems.
Some day, if you stick with it, you can look upon this account as a wonderful thing. A thing of beauty. And it won't be a small amount, bon ami.
All the best, thank you for your service, you Air Force guys too,
