Movie Time....

The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money...Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.....


This evening we did something relaxing and fun.  For a little while we forgot all about looking for a house.  We went to the movies.  Nothing unusual for most but, for us it is.

We went to this really awesome looking theater...MUVICO.  Looks like a diner from the 60's.
We saw the movie  Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.  We both really enjoyed the movie.   Briefly the movie summarizes like this:  Gordon Gekko (Mike Douglas), fresh from prison, re-emerges into a much harsher financial world than the one he left. He now has to play catch-up and redefine himself in a different era. He has to become relevant again.  But a young, idealistic investment banker learns the hard way that Gekko is still a major manipulator and if there's one place where you can redefine yourself, one place where your relevance is a deal away, it's Wall Street.
One of my favorite lines in this movie was "stop telling lies about me and I will stop telling the truth about you".   If you are in the mood for a couple of hours of good entertainmet see the movie....and a good quote for this movie would be....

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

until next time...
