We had a wonderful time on our holidays. Ten days of visiting friends, staying in hotels, camping and dining out...it was great! Now it's back to reality.
My new job starts next week. They've been very accomodating with me going part time until the middle of September, as I finish up my old job. My boss at my old job has also been understanding about my diminishing hours, and is happy to get me when she can. I feel less guilty about leaving her because I know I can finish up what I need to before I go. I'm very excited about starting the new position and meeting everyone there that I'll be working with. A lot of the people are volunteers, and that will be something new for me. I am really looking forward to the challenge of a new position. I am fully responsible for my own program, don't really have anyone working for me or anyone to answer to directly. I think I'm going to like this...I really hate beaurocracy and gossip!
We're starting to get the kids back into somewhat of a routine. School starts for them next Tuesday, so early bedtimes are a must in our house right now, as they're all three exhausted from an extremely busy and fun summer.
Great Time

1. The companies should be soundly managed.
2. The companies have demonstrated earning capacity with a likelihood that this will continue.
3. The companies should have consistently high returns.
4. The companies should have a prudent approach to debt.
5. The businesses of the companies should be simple and investors should have an understanding of the companies.
6. Assuming that all these thresholds are satisfied, the investment should only be made at a reasonable price, with a margin of safety.
