Happy New Year

December 31, 2011 • 2 Comments

Apologies for the delay between posts lately. Been working on some new names in the portfolio and attempting to get in some quality family time.

New puppy at home, too. Been a blast – although I had quite the battle with my two young daughters when it came to choosing a name for him. After exhausting all other options, I was able to eventually, for a small sum, buy the naming rights to him. It was a desperate move – but I was outnumbered and out of options. There was just no way I could let him be named “Rainbow Princess.”

So, here’s Murphy. Don’t let the picture fool you, though. He may look like a black lab, but turns out he’s really a fur-coated flip-flop destruction machine.

In any case, I will get my next investor letter out in another week or so (you can sign up here), and back to the blog after that.

In the meantime, a belated happy holidays to all.

ATM Fees Are So Ridiculous

July 1, 2011 • 2 Comments

Courtesy of Dealbreaker, here’s a pic of one helluva ATM receipt that was left behind by someone in the Hamptons this week.

Look at this thing. Stunning, isn’t it? It’s just nuts! Paying almost three bucks in fees just to get your own money?!?!

Or am I the only cheapskate to be appalled by this?

In any case, that’s what having $100 million in sitting around money looks like.

Happy 4th!

And you thought YouTube was just for silly videos. Turns out it can also show you how to fly over water!

I will see you on the sandbar this summer.
