Boldly deposited funds into Roth and personal trading accounts. Boldly bought (BRK.B, PCLN, PRF, ONNN) and sold (DBA). Postponed two to three buys (SDRL, SLB, OII, WMC) because I am not confident I understand the companies' outlooks, risks, and economic moats.

We went on a clothes shopping binge, the three of us. New hiking boots, pants, and coat for the boy, new pajamas and shirts for the man, and new pants and shirts for me. When I opened one new-to-us coat's pocket prior to laundry, I found a Swiss Army knife. Yay!

More on drinking sensibly: this weekend we made an excursion to a specialty soft drink/hot dog & ice cream retail parlor, lucking into a free tasting session. We bought one sensible pop drink each, and vowed to come back for more. I have been the most sensible of our family, with no Zevia, no cheap six-pack of beer, not even Izze or San Pellegrino on sale, just a Vernor's Ginger Ale. (Moxie I save for the special moments in my life.) They have do-it-yourself pop brew kits (ginger ale, root beer of course) and 12-packs of specialty pop.

Experimenting with GnuCash, the accounting double-entry system for Linux. It has a 168-page user manual, a Wiki, mailing list and some built-in help. I wish I'd looked at the help material prior to establishing accounts. I may restart.

I lucked into $6.70/lb fresh king salmon yesterday at the supermarket. I took about $20 worth of salmon home.

I did plan meals for the week. I'd taken out Keepers and Brassicas last month. My goal is to have either 1 cup of beans or 1 cup of seeds daily, and one serving of brassicas (cabbage, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, cauliflower, broccoli, gai lan, mizuna, tatsoi, bok choy, rapini, broccoli rabe, kohlrabi, watercress, brussels sprouts) daily. So here are my week's dinner entrees:

Monday - Kale Carbonara
Tuesday - Salmon in Foil with Spinach and Cream, or Salmon with Cucumber
Wednesday - Kale and Sweet Potato Saute
Thursday - Salmon in Cream with Bay Thyme and Dill
Friday - Pasta with Red Sauce
Saturday - Mussels the Belgian Way

I must improve my planning. Our home assessment notice arrived: 10% leap from last year, so at least 10% leap in real estate tax. Sigh. Also, class year photos for child, activity fees, if you have or have had school-age children, you understand. I put some money on his prepaid bus travel card for the wet days he doesn't feel like scaling the hill to our house.
