Falkenblog in Top100
I made a list of the top 100 finance blogs. Thus, everything I write, like that on the internet in general, is even more true. If you like this blog, please buy my book, The Missing Risk Premium, which is on $10 on Kindle, $15 paperback.
note: I had surgery on my long bicep tendon today, a residual of prior damage, as benching 405 was probably not one of my better mid-life goals. Hopefully I'll be back, but right now I suspect I have been given placebos by some new penny pinching Death Panel because I'm in a lot of pain.
Interestingly, for my pre-op exam, they basically asked me a bunch of questions, including: do I wear seat belts, what type of birth control I use with my wife (and the set up, whether I have an active sex life--I didn't ask for a definition of 'active'), whether I feel safe in my relationship, and if I sometimes feel anxious (I said 'sometimes' to the latter, which I think must be true for any non-psychotic, but perhaps in the future I won't be able to get a concealed carry permit).
They asked these at a later phone consult from the surgeon's office, so I stopped the second time and asked, 'what these have to do with susceptibility to a bad reaction to anesthesia?' She said, 'I have no idea, we just have to ask them.' I imagine some bureaucrat thought this was a great idea, but I'd rather my doctor fix parochial problems and not have to spend any time on them. Always back to the Serenity Prayer.
