Playing baseball, softball and hockey; reading the Wall Street Journal, updating my class website (at least in the beginning of the term), reading political biographies, having multiple jobs/being a student and keeping myself busy, generating positive externalities, watching movies, going on road trips with buddies, doing productive activities, doing things with a purpose

About me: I'm just your run of the mill economics teacher at Los Altos High School as well as a financial advisor with Waddell & Reed. I enjoy baseball very much. I'm also a softball player altough my current team in Chino Hills has yet to win a game this season. I'm in the process of deciding whether or not to enroll at 24 Hour Fitness or LA Fitness and figure out the most suitable pricing scheme. Pay a huge amount of cash upfront with minimal yearly fees or go with a 3 month student special. Now, I just need to get to the gym!
By the way, everyone reading this should open up a Roth IRA yesterday.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet all the Republican and Democrat candidates for President in 2008 and talk to them individually, off the record, how they believe that the presidential field with play out in the upcoming year.

You are standing in a long line to buy something. You see that someone comes to the line and is very distressed that the line is so long, saying he is in a great hurry and absolutely must make this purchase. A person at the front of the line offers to let him take his place in line for $10. Would you be annoyed at this deal even though it won't cause you to wait any longer?
