T-Minus Two Months

Just when I'm getting into this semester, I am faced with two interesting conundrums. First, I'm well into the tail-end of my MBA, with classes ending in under a month (looking forward to the Decision Models "final" at Town Tavern*.) And second, in what has become but will hopefully no longer be a spring ritual, it's time to start studying for the CFA!

Next year, I'm throwing the biggest Memorial Day Party since the Civil War. It will be epic. Consider yourself invited. But it's still this year, which means I've resigned to spend nearly all of spring--and by extension my last two months in New York--indoors learning about asset allocation, risk management, and performance measurement.



*Frequent readers (or just me) will recall that I hate the Town Tavern. My antipathy dates back to a particular afternoon two years ago when I tried to watch the Broncos on a lovely afternoon, only to have everything go wrong: the satellite was out for the first half, a large black box covered the screen for the second half (allowing me to see just the score and the players' ankles), and the bar ran out of all beer except Coors Light. The game went into overtime, and I, while drinking my horrible Coors Light out of a cheap plastic cup, failed to see the winning field goal.
