My Sincere Apologies

My Sincere Apologies by Bill Roberts

I have been MIA for about six months. Rather than bore you with the trite details I just want to say I'm sorry for my neglect of so many good friends here on ActiveRain.

To those that called and left messages, thank you very much. I will call you back as soon as I can.

I see that there have been a few changes around here. It will undoubtedly take me a while to get back up to speed. Please feel free to offer your criticisms and advice.

We are now in the midst of a hotly disputed political campaign and in the middle of very interesting economic times. Opportunities are everywhere, both for investment and conversation.

I just posted a little political "viewpoint" and I'm working on an economic essay. Freddie and Fannie make for great discussions, don't you think?

I turned "65" while I was gone. My favorite subject of Baby Boomer Retirement Planning is squarely on my mind. I hope I can persuade a few of you to take up this banner. Most "Boomers" have a very simple retirement plan: work ‘til they drop. It doesn't have to be that way!

Bill R,

Thank God you're ok!

This explation can't be good. Keep it to your self, just don't let it happen again.

I'm now a Texan again.

Good to read you back!

Hi Bill A, I'm happy to hear from you, but I'm sorry to hear that you've moved to Texas. I was hoping to see you later this month while I'm in Vegas. Another time I guess. I will talk with you soon.
