The Colour Guard Debuts

Alexandria's annual Scottish Christmas Walk was the first appearance of the St. Andrews Society of Washington DC Colour Guard. You can see we are even in step!


A nipp(l)y Walk this year. Found a quirk to the Guard kilts. The synthetic material promotes static cling. Sporran looked like a flattened Pekingese by the Walk's end.

Met some great people. This is going to be fun.

Rainbow over the Nation's Capital

Hopefully there lies my next pot of gold. Welcome to Washington President Elect Obama....please spend money.

Buy my timeshare

It's a great deal and the only reason I'm parting with it is because the next time I go to Freeport, Grand Bahamas I'll be bringing my own two bedroom apartment with me, under sail.

I'm not naive enough to believe I was the last of 15000 Americans laid off last week, but I was one of them. It's nothing new to me and I know I'll be fine. What is new is that, as I pondered the diversification of my (remaining) financial capital this past month, it occurs to me that I'm a victim of not diversifying my human capital. I have one employer,customer,contract converting all the hours I work into cash. If that position fails, devalues, or just slows below goal, I should have other positions in which I'm engaged balance out the loss. So I'll never work for an employer or a single contract again. I'm diversifying. So should you.

I'm already continuing my other security management contract but I'm interested in applying some of my expertise to recruiting, investing in green technologies, providing boutique security services such as audits, assessments and training in small, easy to purchase sessions, and I've even got an invention to patent and pursue.

I found the Great Pumpkin(s) Charlie Brown!

On a recent trip to Vermont I found these (no shit, these are real) pumpkins filling the backs of trailers and trucks. Charlie Brown...camp out here next year.

Great job Gizmo and Mike. They raised fifteen thousand dollars for a local charity and earned a spotin the Guiness World Book of Records.
