Never Would Have Thought

Growing up in southern Minnesota, the thought never passed through my mind that one day I would live in Singapore. Or that I would be concerned about the value of the US dollar. Or about the cost of gas. But today these things are all quite relevant to my life, and I'm rejoicing to see that the dollar is back up to $1.46 buying power, and that gas slipped another 4 cents. Kids, good news - you might still get to go to college!

That sounds ominous.

Ominous? No, I think the word you're searching for is glorious Ryan. Glorious! When we came to Singapore the dollar bought nearly $1.70 Sing. It's been down to $1.3 but now it's heading back up. This is a very good thing.

Ominous. Impending doom-like ominousness.
