Cara and I always have a beautiful time, just existing in the short time and space we have together.\u00a0 She found us a fantastic eatery, David Bowie approves.\u00a0 Heading out with Christian and Christina, we found a whole world of Chinese lantern art, some of it huge.\u00a0 We mostly own whatever city we are in, through walking.<\/p>\n
On the plane ride home, I sat next to Melvin, who played football and trades stocks.\u00a0 He saw me coding AbetterTrader, and told me about his system and his “mentor”, Tim.\u00a0 They really have a good thing going – and they live in Raleigh, I’ll have to meet up with them soon.<\/p>\n
