so you were scammed last week and

sold a decent and truthful underperforming stock to see if you could find a stock ready to explode. Yes, it exploded, but right in your face, cityboy, and you are out about 100 dollars--of course you could easily make that back---but still at this time, with finances still very up in the air, not the greatest thing to happen to
your vision of yourself as as stock picker.
That said, yesterday turned out really well---great time at Friends, really great to see all the returnees, so many hugs, so many "up" feeling, I really love the place, even as they do create the 3 period half day, which has resulted so  far in my losing 100 dollars (sound familiar) still, even in this haze of anger that I am experiencing now, the energy and good feeling of yesterday afternoon was infectious.
Dentist appointment went about as expected---the flossist suggested I needed mor work, which would of course cost me more, but the Dentist deflected it---I guess they figure I can hoist on my own petard, not the greatest feeling, but it did cost less, and I got a real good cleaning.
After much deliberation, cityboy decided to get a standing room ticket for Die Frau, and found himself blown away. The whole experience left me breathless---god, what an orchestra sound---god, what an intense vision of an opera. Ran into Richard and Marcia there---good to see them and compare notes. Hope I can spend some time with them later in the month---still would like to describe more of the excitement I experienced at Frau, more to come possibly.
Rest of day, some tutoring, then not sure, may venture to Indian Road to sample their Trivia night, possibly go to south fourth to be "among friends" Will be determined as we go along.
Tomorrow the usual Thanksgiving with the Baum's, always fun--usual wait during the day, will cityboy stay home or try to find a bar with the football game on---there is still a lot of reading to do as well, remember it is expected to be very cold tomorrow, so movement may be inhibited. Let's find out....
