Burkenroad Reports Fund

One of the more unusual mutual funds is the Burkenroad Reports Fund, http://www.freeman.tulane.edu/burkenroad/ where the research staff consists of some 200 students at Tulane University in New Orleans. Peter Ricchiuti, the assistant dean of the Freeman School of Business at Tulane, has been featured on the Nightly Business Report.

Grandmas Marathon 2008

I am considering running the Grandmas Marathon http://www.grandmasmarathon.com/ in Duluth, Minnesota on Saturday, June 21, 2008



I recommend the following schedule:

Thursday, June 19, 2008
Travel to the Twin Cities
Stay with relatives in Apple Valley, Minnesota http://www.ci.apple-valley.mn.us/ (Carol and Nick Rotvold)

Friday, June 20, 2008
Visit with relatives in Mora, Minnesota http://www.ci.mora.mn.us/ (Aunt Charlene, Uncle Russell, and any other relatives we can find)
Travel to Duluth (about 2 hour trip)
Stay in a college dorm http://www.uwsuper.edu/ or camp out

Saturday, June 21, 2008
Run marathon in record time
Travel to Isle Royale National Park http://www.isleroyale.info/ (about 3 hour trip)
Camp at Isle Royale National Park

Sunday, June 22, 2008
Travel to Lake Superior Provincial Park http://www.lakesuperiorpark.ca/
Camp at Lake Superior Provincial Park

Monday, June 23, 2008

The only way I see this happening is if CJ permits us to use his Garmin. Other than that, if this sounds acceptable, let me know. We will then have to register with the marathon, make reservations for lodging or camping, contact relatives, etc.

I'm Bald!

I am not going to name names, but some people in our family are dying of old age, while others are balding and developing guts. No worries, because 08' is the year of health and wellness and change is possible. As the former chief editor of Men's Health and current fitness editor of the Oatmeal Buffet blog, I will be posting blogs on different topics from why men have bitch tits to why 90 percent of women have thunder thighs. As for today, did you know if you took the 13 billion hamburgers that Americans eat every year and put them in a straight line, they could circle the earth more than 32 times. Moreover, did you know that a single fast food hamburger may contain meat from hundreds, eve thousands, of different cattle. The fact of the matter is if you want to be a lean, mean, fighting machine, then you need to avoid the extra cheese, curly fries and sour cream.

MVIS Update

Just ordered "MVIS IS GAY!" t-shirts for everybody. CJ ordered an extra small. Here's a few links. While our investments are hitting historic lows, the projector looks awesome:

This Friday, I will be jumping out of a plane while eating a large bowl of oatmeal. What will you be doing? Serving some fish, preparing some documents for a lawsuit . . . . wish you all could be there to eat a large bowl of oatmeal while flying the friendly skies . . . .
