We went to a restaurant last Thursday. The restaurant heard it was my birthday. They produced a single candle:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I learned — on the Internet (where else?) — that “Blowing out candles on a birthday cake isn’t a great idea during the pandemic, health experts say.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

My only birthday present — a single candle — is now a health hazard. Go figure.<\/p>\n

It’s three days later. I’m still alive.<\/p>\n

Watching those ads on TV pushing crypto ETFs?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The ETFs haven’t been performing well this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But, the buzz on crypto is not only strong, but getting stronger by the day.\u00a0 Apparently 12,000 attended a crypto conference in Miami, prompting Business Insider to run this story:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The full story is here.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The present theory is crypto will fall more in coming weeks, then come roaring back.<\/p>\n

Health from someone (i.e. me) going into their 80th year<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

+ Keep moving. Many of my friends have given up on exercise, because of their aching knees, their wobbly hips, etc. I don’t know if exercise works for everyone. It sure works for me.<\/p>\n

+ Keep your stress down by not proffering advice that no one will listen to. Read that again.<\/p>\n

+ Eat half of what they give you. Take the other half home and eat it tomorrow.<\/p>\n

+ Learn to nap.\u00a0 Do it twice a day.<\/p>\n

+ Don’t believe any of your friends’ idiotic vaccine theories. Get your family vaccinated. For more, read a New York Times review of a new book How Humans Gained Extra Life.<\/em> Click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

My kids are starting to invest. What should they buy?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They should own individual shares, not ETFs. They should own shares in companies whose products and services they or the family uses:<\/p>\n

+ Nike, Apple, Disney, Nvidia, Netflix, Roblox, Take Two Interactive, Chewy,\u00a0 Activision Blizzard,\u00a0 Electronic Arts, Chipotle, McDonalds, Amazon, Nintendo, Microsoft, and of\u00a0course, Zoom.<\/p>\n

Here’s a confusing chart comparing their last 12 months. The best performers (in order) were Nvidia, Zoom and Apple. The worst was McDonalds. Roblox is new, but gaining. I suspect it’s going to fly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A totally wonderful Netflix series<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The stars include Michael Douglas, Alan Arkin (who’s hysterical), Danny DeVito, and Jay Leno. You’ll die laughing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stocks coming back — maybe

Friends who have Teslas love them. My son is getting one.<\/p>\n

Wonderful church bulletins<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

+ Sermon this morning: ‘Jesus Walks on the Water’. Sermon tonight: ‘Searching for Jesus’.<\/p>\n

+ Miss Charlene Mason sang ‘I will not pass this way again,’ giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.<\/p>\n

+ Next Thursday there will be try-outs for the choir. They need all the help they can get.<\/p>\n

+ The church will host an evening of fine dining, super entertainment and gracious hostility.<\/p>\n

+ The Low Self Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 PM. Please use the back door.<\/p>\n

+ Weight Watchers will meet at 7 PM at the First Presbyterian Church. Please use large double door at the side entrance.<\/p>\n

That’s it. See you tomorrow. — Harry Newton<\/em><\/p>\n
