As mentioned last Friday … with the kids completely out today, for the betterment and the safety of the streets, we are out today as well … officially starting our spring break a bit early as next week IS spring break, and we will be out of the office all week next week …. but tethered electronically as always!

Time Change Weekend!
One of our favorite days of the year occurs this weekend, the time change. Don’t forget to change whatever few clocks you may have that do not automatically change Saturday night as that leads to an irregular time read and unnecessary stress usually occurring when we’re in a hurry of course….at least in my experience!
Snapped less than 24 Hours Ago – Spring Tree
Thank you for the Spring Tree Comments…. you have personally spurred us to continue the tracking… although we are likely nearing the end of our journey… Hence the bigger picture!
The following Punxsutawney Phil Spring Tree update was snapped (used same camera and same location for better reference) less than 24 hours ago …
Now we are cooking… Hello Spring … at least in Texas!

Closing Break Reflections and Personal Thoughts
For some reason being out of the office brings clarity….
Maybe it is the slow Wifi or maybe just different location/surrounding….
No matter… we are happily “Lightly” Tethered… the keyboard is tapping with residual to do’s/Newsletter/Blog posts… speaking of which, a great Cyber related post coming Monday… worth your time… and yes, really enjoy doing this over time off…. never work!
Have a Great Friday/Weekend and if Your Spring Break… that too… Talk Next Week!

Restless Night October Boooo … John’s D Magazine Best Financial Planner on the Rack … Halloween, Time Change
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)
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!
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
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!
