March is a darned famous month: In 44BC Julius Caesar lost an argument with some senators; 1789 the US Constitution became law of the land; in Downtown San Antonio 1836 saw the end of the fighting, end of Davy Crockett and beginning of Fess Parker; Albert Einstein arrived on 3/14/1879; and, rather ignominiously, 3/11/2020 the World […]
My Denver Broncos missed by just a bit…and that miss ended their season so whether you’re an NFC or AFC fan, send snow ‘cuz we’re going skiing Super Bowl Sunday and we have no snow. Literally – Vail today is reporting 37” base today and that’s rocks and stumps vs. 55” as the 10 year average on […]
Happy New Year everyone! In Roman numerals, it’s MMXXVI; the FIFA World Cup returns, co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico – the first time three countries have jointly hosted; it’s the 250th anniversary of American independence (the Semiquincentennial); and, you can get your kicks on Route 66 which turns 100 years old. I was asked […]
Yup, it’s getting rough out there and folks are getting upset whether their winter wear is RED or BLUE. I am becoming a regular user of AI and find I am using ClaudeAI more and more and Claude told me today nationwide in 2024, about 20.3% of all scheduled domestic flights were delayed vs. October 2025 rates spiking at […]
The stork isn’t carrying the full bag of money any more…any more than the banks are. Private Credit is growing and growing at a pace that both causes concern as we watch these largely unregulated behemoths move through the economy and excites us as they transact with higher risk tolerance and generally more creativity than traditional […]
While that maxim has been used hundreds of times, in 1868 the first print version said: “As in a game of cards, so in the game of life, we must play what is dealt to us, and the glory consists, not so much in winning, as in playing a poor hand well.” It’s a motto I […]
Yup, May is definitely shaping up to be full of spirit – whether it’s spirit as in a spirited set of circumstances for us all to do business or spirits as in the ghosts of economies past that may come to haunt us. Heck, maybe it’s the spirits we might need to quaff to get […]
…something new every day. Golly, it’s only mid-month with the 10 Year T moving from 4.01% to a 4.48% in two weeks – yup, a movement of nearly 12%. Then $3,263 for an ounce of gold that cost $43.05 in 1971 when President Nixon uncoupled from the gold standard…and if you invested $10,000 in gold in 1971 […]
Welcome to 2025 and we hope you and your community are off to a great start. Change is good – it keeps us sharp and on our toes and new ideas can often lead to new successes at home and the office and we hope that’s true for you! My regular readers, for whom I am […]
It’s -6°F as I write this on January 20th in Denver with about 2” of new snow on my driveway. Those of us who have lived in Denver all our lives call this “Stock Show Weather” – that frigid time during our National Western Stock Show and yes, it’s cold! And yes, it’s a new year and a […]
