Well, I got kicked out of an outdoor soccer? game for the first time in Fort Worth last week. Doh! To? make? matters worse I even have to pay a red card fine!? The Fort Worth Soccer Association sent me? this nice letter below. In the spirit of the prize contests on www.thesmokinggun.com, I have hidden the dollar amount of the fine I have to pay. Closest guess posted in a comment wins an? all-in-one travel unit that includes a black and white television, AM/FM radio, lantern, siren, flashlight, thermometer,? compass, and is engraved with the words “EFW Safety Award 2005.”

Happy guesing!

Okay here is a little test for all of you…

First one to post the correct answers gets bragging rights!?

I actually took this from an MIT article called On the Ball: Cognitive Reflection and Decision Making.? The article? gives some interesting statistics and observations about people who came up with? the? correct answers on this “Cognitive Reflection Test” (CRT)? versus people who gave incorrect answers. The author proposes that the better you do on the test, the more likely you are to be good with finances and investments. Click on the link above to read the article.

Well, I guess this is my first post!

I am suprised how easy it was to pull this whole website together. Only time will tell if I? actually continue? to update? this blog. But for now I will try it out.

I hope all of you will? contribute your own blog posts and picture albums, too. Don’t worry, it is incredibly easy. Just send me an? email and I will set you up with a username so that you can post here and/or add pictures to the Gallery. I added some Italy pics already just so you? could see what the albums are like.

More blogging to come later!
