Reminiscent of the fiasco associated with last years investing attempt, my personal financial adviser has indicated that my latest effort is eerily having the same results. With big returns, low risk, a stellar track record of reliable payments, and a gullible client, all of the pieces were in place for some big money to be made: by the guy I gave the money to. A month's worth of excuses, delays, dropped phone calls, pending meetings with clients, out or range contact, etc. (I've heard them all), has yielded the same rate of return: Zero.
Though these are my personal funds, I had planned on donating any profits to FTI in conjunction with any monies raised during our upcoming membership pledge drive. No actual FTI funds were diverted or used during this speculative venture. I sure hope it resolves itself as these funds were going to be dedicated to restocking some basics around here: medicine for the infirmary, hymnals for the chapel, and tinfoil for the hats.

FTI Gossip
Heard Around The Compound: Insiders say that Dickie the Peap is scheduled to have lunch today with FTI Trustee, Giacommo. No one is talking specifics about the topics of conversation during the mid day grub-gab, but pals indicate Giacommo is resigned to paying in order to avoid a nasty scene when the check arrives. Hopefully, the short-armed one will have eaten earlier in the morning so the bill won't be too high.
