rizhi_finToday trading was very slow. I was reading "Economics: The Private Choice", the second book of 8 or 9 to go. I cannot describe how interesting it all is. All the systems theory, networks and statistics are part of the business I am in. I wonder why I am not reading those books 24 hours a day. Probably my Georgian genes do not let me spoil my life.
So, when I got tired reading, I went down to change the rear wiper on my car. I am not a handy man, but for some reason I have fun doing things with my Niva. So, today I decided to change the rear wiper. Here I am, standing in the sun, trying to change the damn thing and can you imagine, some guy who was passing in the street, comes up to me and says, "Jigaro (synonym to an Australian "mate"), I can change it for you, that's what I do for living, I change wipers!" I saw that the guy wanted to make a buck and another time I would let him, but that moment I was trying to do it myself, so I said," No thanks, I wanna learn how to do it myself". So I stood for another 15 minutes in the sun trying to change the wiper and it did not work. I left it and went back in my office.
At half past four I left and went home. I changed, put on my running shoes, baseball cap, took running shorts with me and went to the hippodrome. Ran two circles, a little more than 2 miles. Felt good. Fresh air. View. Quiet. Little wind. Horses. Went back home, and my brother came to visit with his wife and their kid. My niece. She's absolutely incredible. She's beautiful like an icon, although most Georgian kids are (what happens to them when they grow up?). She's 2 years and 2 months old and she flirts. She behaves as a grown woman. Gets bitchy at times. Well, I am her favorite uncle (I hope) cause she has another one, but I try to bring her more presents and win her over. She's absolutely lovely and she knows it and uses it to her advantage. I am going to spoil her as much as I can.
