So yesterday, a great dancer by the name of Andrew Sinkinson passed away and will be greatly missed. There’s a big RIP Andrew Sinkinson thread on dance forums. I remember, I took my lesson at Imperial Ballroom in the San Francisco Bay area, and he gave me some exercises that I need to practice by…
If we look at the price to earnings ratio or P/E ratio for the S&P 500 right now it’s right around 30 which is nearly unprecedented. It was only a lot higher right before the dot com bubble, and also very briefly during Covid. It was also high right before the Great Depression, but not…

Perhaps 20 years ago I worked for Showtime dance shoes in Atlanta, Georgia and I learned a lot about dancing shoes. Many moons ago there was a dealer in Seattle Washington and I helped her with her dancing shoe website. I don’t know what happened, but she sort of dropped off as a customer, but…
I think everyone experiences the feeling that they are procrastinating sometimes. That’s often just because the path to completing something or moving forward with something is not clear. I got a couple of New Year’s resolutions. First, I don’t want to drink alcohol anymore. I never really had a problem with drinking a lot, but…
