Michael volunteered (for $100) to wait in line today for the iPhone. I was at the only store in over 100 miles to have the phone, so I wanted to make sure they didn’t sell out. I was the 12th person to get the phone.

Back in early 1999 I was working as a loan officer in Chicago. For those of you who don’t know, being a loan officer in the mortgage space is basically a sales gig. We sell money, and the person with the best rates wins. I was pretty good at it, and I had some decent [...]

I work a lot. Right now it’s almost 2am, and I’m just now taking a break. Sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is the idea that maybe I’ll get to retire young and do all the things that I would like to do. So while I take a break from the daily/nightly grind, [...]
