Underwater in a Leaderless Void

Current Status... I spent two miserable days coming down with a cold, then went to my accupuncturist, Sharon. As usual, I felt great after the treatment, slept very well, but I also woke up totally without the cold -- sinuses clear, eyes dry and comfortable. Wow.
Lately I'm thinking a lot about my retirement plan. It's a good one, TIAA-CREF, but even with all its caution, I lost a few hundred dollars by the end of September. No telling what my balance is now that the DOW's plunged into the 8000s. I guess the idea is to work till I die. Perhaps I can get used to that idea. I still don't want to live beyond 2025 though. 
What's interesting is the effect the terrible financial disaster is having on the Republican party (negative) and on our first black candidate (positive). Please let the DOW go up when he wins...
Currently reading... A book by Ursula Hegi called The Worst Thing I've Done. Well-written, but so far I'm not that into it.
