My Prosper.com Lending Group

I was looking for some new ways to invest money that felt more secure than the stock market but got me more return than my Top Yielding 5.05% HSBC Online Money Market Savings account, so my brother in law Paul told me about www.prosper.com, a sort of ebay for person to person online loans. So he created a "lenders group" on prosper.com for investors such as myself to research loans and lend money using the Prosper methodology and engine.

So here is the link to my Prosper.com group (just started, only two members currently...): My New Prosper.com Lender Group: "North Plains Capital"

So if you are trustworthy and need money, and will pay back our loan but can not get one from the bank for some reason or don't want to, check us out!

OEHS High School Hoops!

Me and some guys from the neighborhood took some of our kids to the high school basketball game again tonight. I have to say, for the $4 adult and $2 kid admission fee, it is worth it on a friday night. Only takes from 7-8:30 and the night is still young.

Our suburban team is now 18-1 after tonight's win and are not yet ranked in the Chicago Top 25!!! They are no Simeon which beat Oak Hill Academy #1 team in the nation last night, but come on, they could go like 25-1.

Here is their schedule: http://www.oswego308.org/schools/oehs/cocurricular/athletics/teams/boys/basketball/

The Pinewood Derby is serious business. We cleaned house every year in trophies. This is Andrew's last one. Don't know if Hunter will be in cub scouts...probably not. 

College Pic

we went back to the old haunts.. here me and the kids are outside the halls of my old college (www.cbu.edu) engineering building in Memphis, TN.

it is weird going back to college with your kids! Tim is elegible to apply in 4 more years! And to think Domi and I climbed on all these arches over our heads many nights...we just wanted some exercise and a study break! 

Got Bush?

Houston bypassed Reggie Bush instead picking Mario Williams or whoever at DE! COME ON! That is almost as bad as Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan!

Sweet Caroline

I love this picture - took it with my cell phone...this is outside the place we refinanced into our weird interest only/fixed loan in September 2006.

We are on a 6.375% fixed interest only forthe first 10 years, then it immediately convertsw for no fee into a fixed at the same rate for the next 20 years. Well now, with good credit I coudl get 5.875 30 yr fixed today but it is all good. 

Stairs Accident November 2006

way off when my daughter fell down the stairs in November! She was ok, no broken bones and not even a bruise! Kids are sooooo resilient, I would have been all messed up falling down 21 stairs at age 34!!!
