Ever wake up in the middle of the night stirring of something in your life? You toss and turn, grumble, and finally get angry because you cannot go back to sleep as this issue/problem seems so insurmountable? (If you said no, pat yourself on the back, you are lucky)

You wake the next morning only to chuckle at how silly the worry was, and how you can easily conquer this problem/issue.

Maybe it is Halloween, or season change… who knows, but once again, October made for the middle of the night sleepless concern as capital markets gyrated, only to finally awaken to the fact that they are seasonally entering the best months of the calendar, as reminded here and here.

Not to worry, we have you covered …

Dallas’s D Magazine Best Financial Planner

As mentioned a bit early, after reading the congratulatory letter (letter asked to hold off on announcement until this week … oops, never saw that before), this week the “Formal Edition” of the Magazine hit the racks even with a mug of yours truly.

So this is the official announcement:

“John was honored and flattered to be nominated as one of D Magazines Top Planners for an Eighth consecutive time!” 

… much better!

Somehow they managed to sneak my mug and bio on the very last page of the entire section …. hand slap for early announcement? Ok …that’s fine, sorry guys.

Oh, of course K is the new Z in the alphabet! No matter, we appreciate the notoriety, congratulations fellow winners, most of which I know personally, are good professionals, and stand up folks.

Halloween Update

Long time readers know today is the Mrs. absolute favorite celebratory day (last year pic) of the year. She says it’s the candy, I think it’s really the dress up. This costume which has been on and off since September, yes that early, is our recent Birthday boy (not me for those who also spied this picture on another popular public site … I promise) shows the family enthusiasm. Wish homework was completed that early!

Time Change Reminder

If you want a reason to spend time with those special in your life, how about this, tomorrow night is clock change time.  Seems like yesterday we were moving time to a more light evening. Don’t forget to spend … and oh yaa, move those clocks back too!

Have a Spooky Safe Halloween and a good weekend!
