Today I was in Chelsea all day spending some quality one-on-one time with my ailing uncle who has just turned 100.  The official family party is on Sunday but, anticipating that the weekend celebration will exhaust him, I went today to have private time with him.  He is my last surviving uncle; I lost my last surviving aunt a few months ago in Kansas City where she passed away quietly at 96.  It’s been quite an exhausting day and I got home much too late to recover the daily Reuters market report so, for tonight’s entry, I am including only the numbers.  From the chart it looks like the Dow was in the red most of the day but recovered to close 75 up.  I will endeavor to find a report for tomorrow’s entry.

Dow rises ... again
