Posso, claro. Mas vais ficar desiludido porque é uma coisa pessoal e não sobre os mercados...
Um abraço,

"I think on the list of top 10 causes of stress -- you know, a job loss, death of parent, etc. -- I've had about seven. Now, I have eight.
On Thursday at about 4:15 p.m., we had a two-alarm fire at our home in Bethesda. The Cliff Notes? An electrical fire started just below the attic and quickly took over most of the top floor. Twelve trucks were eventually on the scene, including two hook-and-ladders. Nancy and I were home, but we were uninjured. The kids weren't home.
I grabbed my laptop and my cell phone, and that was about it. What the fire didn't get, water and smoke pretty much finished off. We'll be able to salvage most of the clothing and furniture, but the interior structure will probably have to be leveled. Restoration has already started, but we expect to be out no fewer than eight months. A real drag, but if it had occurred at 4 a.m., I don't even want to think about it.
Now, given that, one request. I am confident that most of you feel my pain. We're family, after all. However, right now, I am overwhelmed and exhausted. Therefore, I only ask that you not send me email. Your intentions and heart will no doubt be in the right place, but then I will feel guilty if I don't answer it, thereby creating additional work.
Anyway, we'll be fine. Really. I have told the family that we're not going to sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. Instead, we'll still go to school, row in regattas and do our normal routine. As for me, I'll be back in full stride as early as I can.
Oh, one more thing: My golf clubs were in my car, which we managed to back out of the garage before it collapsed. God was smiling! "
