Epilogue

It's been a colorful 365 days! Thanks everyone for reading. And thank you 25th year of life for being somewhat interesting!

What's coming next? Nothing on this blog... at least for now. It's time to study!

Postage Due

This is the first time I've ever received something postage due! Thanks grandma (and Doug W)! I'm glad that the envelope clearly tells you what to due.

I Heart Bingo!

And because it's Valentine's Day it's especially heart bingo! Nobody won, but we had more than a dab of fun!

Freeziac

For my birthday, Nate and Tricia took me to Freeziac! Unfortunately, this place is located like a mile from my house and has a half-price happy hour from 9pm to 10pm each night--way too easy to go to and froyo! But Tricia reassured me that it's much better for me than ice cream.

Stack moves back to SoDak

A haiku for Stack
An anxiety attack
Hope you like SoDak

Halftime Show

I couldn't figure out why the halftime show was elementary school dancers at the Timberwolves/Knicks game. Then I got the connection. They wanted to show us something we could Knicks.

Monster Train

Oh no! A monster has taken over Duluth! Or as a friend of mine would say, "Duluth, Duluth, Duluth is on fire!"

Pterodactyl!

"Pterodactyl!" The words that were uttered moments before this picture was ptaken.

Texting Humor

I love when people indulge my sense of humor and sharp wit!

Dirty Floor Irony

Interesting how the dirtiest aisle at Target was the one with the mops and cleaning products! Cleanup on aisle 5!

Actuarial Mail!

My first issue of "The Actuary" got delivered to my house today! How exciting! Or as us actuaries might say, how tpxciting!

Superbowl

Watching a giant win at the Sanberg's!

Ice Tree

Beautiful icicles this morning! Looks like Narnia!

Interesting Graph

One of the more interesting things in my textbook. I did a lot of studying today. Since debt creates a favorable tax shelter, more debt in a corporation is theoretically good. However, as debt increases, probability of bankruptcy and other financial distress increases. Therefore, an optimal debt ratio can be found at a certain proportion of debt to overall capital. Get it? Got it? Good.

Other astute readers may also notice that the above picture is simply a hammock.

Groundhog's Day

No sunlight = no shadow. I guess that means an early winter! Phil saw his shadow, but there does not seem to be agreement among the groundhogs.

Banana Hat

My coworker (and friend?) Laura has achieved something amazing today. She has created a banana with a hat! Make sure you all dole out your congratulations to her!
