My 50th High School Reunion

We went to Lake Tahoe and had a great time. The weather was wonderful and the lake was beautiful. In addition, we won a little money. So it was a great trip.

A few days after we returned from Lake Tahoe, we left for Cleveland, Ohio for my 50th high school reunion. We stayed at my sister's house in Seville, Ohio. Seville is known for the Seville giant. Standing seven feet and eleven and a half inches, Captain Bates is a giant who has toured around the world in the circus. In search of a quiet home for himself and his wife, (who is also a giant!) Captain Bates decides to get off the train in Seville, although he fears he will be too big for the little town. But Seville is full of surprises, and the giant is about to learn that the only thing that matters is the size of one's heart.

My reunion started on Friday night with a stag party at St. Ignatius High School. It was a reunion for every 5 years. After 50 years, every class would celebrate their reunion. Of course, the 1957 class was celebrating the 50th class reunion so they had the VIP treatment. I saw about 70 of my old classmates and we spent the night remembering the good times in school.

On Saturday evening, we had a party for everyone including the wifes. It started with a special Mass for the 1957 class. Then we were entertained by the St Ignatius Chorus. It was great. We went on a guided tour of the school. It has really changed. It now has 18 acres of campus. Then we had dinner. Out of 209 in the graduating class, 127 1957 alumni were in attendance. What a wonderful event.

While I was gone, gold went up and I made a nice profit. I still have the contracts and I am waiting for a sell signal from my software program.

Found old pics of nieces and granddaughter

I found this old picture from 1994 of my nieces and granddaughter.
I think it is funny. Of course, since they are teenagers, they don't like it.

We are ahead this month on gambling, but lost this week on gold. I am still trying to automate my trading formula so I can trade without being glued to the computer. It works with a test formula that trades more frequently so I could test it. I am waiting for a trade using my actual formula. I only get about 2 trades a week.

We are leaving for Lake Tahoe a week from Sunday and when we get back we are leaving for Ohio to go to my 50th high school reunion. I hate the hassle of the airports, but I do love to travel.

May has been a bad gambling month so far

We have lost big time this month on our gambling. It is a good thing that gold is making us money. However, Raye hit a royal this morning so we finally had a good day. We are still slightly down on our gambling.

I still haven't done much on forex trading. I am working on trying to automate my futures formula to increase my trading profit. I will then be able to trade longer without having to sit by my computer all the time.

I got out of gold on Friday and I am waiting for another buy signal from my program. I cannot wait until I can set up my autotrading.

Laura is doing great. She is no problem at all except that we did have to adjust our schedule. She will start summer school in June.

My niece, Laura, moves in with us.

I lot have happened since my last post. My niece, Laura, has moved in with us. We have been very busy adjusting to the move. We had to organize the house so she had her own room which meant moving our stuff out of the spare bedroom. I didn't realize how much paperwork had to be completed to get her into school and get her a drivers license. We are still working on things.

Gold took a big drop. I am down on my last buy. However, I didn't sell because I expect it to rebound. It dropped so fast while I was not watching that I just decided to keep my contracts. It has recovered about 50% of the drop.

We also have guests visiting this weekend. We got them rooms at the Suncoast Casino. Our gambling has been up and down like always. We are actually slightly ahead for the month.

I haven't had time to work on Forex. I am working on a new program for day trading that looks very promising. I just am having a problem with getting it to work on a 5 minute chart. I cannot figure out the problem. It works great on other charts.

Well, it is off to church this morning, then to the casino for Brunch and some gambling, then home to see what is happening to gold.

Royals come in bunches

Royals seem to come in bunches. Raye hit a Royal on Thursday and then hit another one today. I bought Gold on Thursday morning and sold it Friday. Made a very nice profit. I am looking for another buy signal.

My son, Jason, and my nephew, Shaun, came to Las Vegas this weekend and we had a nice visit. Had breakfast with them and my sister-in-law, Shirley. Then Shirley took us all to a nice chinese dinner.

I am finally going to start to look at Forex trading. I have been too busy to start on it until now. Since I am not going to be traveling for about 4 weeks, I will have the time.

Easter

We went to California and had a great Easter. We went to church in the morning with my son, Jason, and his wife, Diana. After church, we met my son, Ron, and he treated us to lunch. He was working so we met on his lunch hour. After lunch, we visited our friends, Johanna and Marie. Then it was off to my Jennifer's house for an Easter party. We had a great time. Good food and good company.

This was a good week for my gold investments. I bought in again and still have that buy. I am waiting for a sell signal. My casino gambling was not as good. We are still losing. However, yesterday and today were winning days so things are looking up.

We will be home for about 4 weeks. Of course, Raye probably will think of somewhere to go and visit. She will be going to Tennessee in the middle of May. I will be staying home. Then at the end of May, we will go to Lake Tahoe again. Then on June 1, 2, and 3, we will be in Ohio for my 50th High School Reunion. I am looking forward to that.

Gold is up, Gambling is down

Well, I recovered my losses on the last Gold drop and even made a slight profit. I have sold and am waiting for another buy signal from my program. However, after a winning March, we have been losing in the casinos in April.

We had a great time in Lake Tahoe and made some money gambling. This weekend, we are going to California to celebrate Easter with the family. We also bought another car. It is a 2001 Lincoln Towncar with 47000 miles on it. It is like new. Raye loves Towncars and this is her third one in the last 13 years.

My next door neighbor hurt his shoulder and had to have an operation. He cuts my lawn for me for FREE. I had to mow it for the last 2 weeks. I didn't realize how out of shape I am. I was exhausted.
