I've been absent for quite a while, busy in the securities markets which as it turns out, places a fairly large demand on my time. I thought I'd write today to show that I'm still around. I'll be celebrating my 79th birthday in September.
I spend week days in town, where there is dependable internet coverage, and weekends at our seaside property 40 km from town. I refer to it as seaside, since it is not really a beach - it's actually 400 meters of coral reef. Not so much for swimming, but SCUBA diving. The scenery is spectacular, and I look forward to weekends.
During my free time I watch with interest the goings on in North Africa, Egypt, Syria and Yemen. As you may know I lived, worked and travelled extensively in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt, and can personally relate to the reported events.
There is not much going on in my life at present that is not securities trading related. That, I have found to be a vastly complex subject that would requre a huge effort to document in this blog, or any blog. So I'll let it go at that for now.
