Not writing for more than a year deserves serious "splaining". Well, there you have it: I change my old place of employ, having moved a bit up on a food chain.

Also, enrolled in one of those executive MBA programs. Not sure what to select for a concentration, but for a time being thinking of Finance.

And tried to wage an unsuccessful attempt for a change with fringe benefit committee at my new place, failing miserably to show them that they're getting ripped-off with those enormous 401k agent fees.

Also read some good books, one of them by John Bogle "Don't count on it!"
