Unlike the government, I can't print money. I balance my own budget, and I am very strict about sticking to it. Because I am buying a new home this Christmas, I am not hobbying. I will start hobbying when baseball season starts.

Sunday and again today.  Now I've got to plan the next one, probably for Thursday.

Trying this in Atlanta and Las Vegas.  The Atlanta ladies have jumped in to participate and it worked well last year in Las Vegas.  Business travel goes almost to zero at this time and most leisure travel is with family, so hookers and hotels get killed.  We gotta do our part to help, even if that means buying things on sale, lol.

post Xmas likely

i've been preoccupied and have neglected myself and happy times with my friends from here and there.... there is a backlog just waiting to bust out

without a little festive boom..boom.  Actually, It might be a little difficult for me to find time before Christmas for a little yule tide treat...but I am hoping to make the most of the week between Christmas and New Years.  What better way to ring in a new year and to work off a Christmas feast!

Just did....ironically in South Florida

with my new ATF....had fun at some local places and restaurants, went to the track and even the boat parade.  Also some Christmas shopping too.

My favorite lady is taking some down time and I will as well until the end of January.  So that will give some time to make some future plans and hopefully the stock market and my piggy bank will both go up.

I'm seeing my ATF on Dec 23rd. For a few years I had two favs that I saw right before Christmas.  They were both UTR and pretty low volume so I never heard either of them complain about a drop-off around the holidays. It seems logical though.  Guys with families have to take care of that obligation first around the holidays.

time but when 2012 rolls around, I will reward myself with a New Year treat.  I have plans for the first week in January with a lady who I met a year ago at a M & G.  We have been unable to get our calendars together until now.

Budget and as chief household budget master I've included at least two visits before, and hope to get one more after I start getting my presents, I've asked for green dot refills instead of gift cards (and nobody has a clue why). There will be a new years budget as well, and the best thing about the holidays, pussy's on sale coast to coast, holiday specials every where.

I'm starting to like Christmas all over again.

Unless I can book something on X-mas eve (not during the day)...then it's a treat!

p4p isn't paramount for me. I have many other priorities
