  1. You bet $50K on a Don't Pass and the come-out was a 7? Ouch. Still, best bet in the casino. At least, W/O counting BJ. I don't like to lay odds tho...

    Yeah, this was 97-98. Good times.

    I had 000s of flies on the 30Y and they pinned. It was funny as I called my sis (accountant) who knows nothing about vol and she told me to hold it to exp. IIRC the position pinned to the strike (within 4 ticks).

    I can remember the call like it was yesterday. I was sitting in my condo and drinking Red Bull and vodka and watching "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Surreal. God, to be single and swinging (size).

    97-98 I was in your neck of the woods. Heavenly, Squaw, drive down for a couple of days @ Mammoth. A couple of other ski trips one before, one since. Just awesome scenery as you well know.

    I was right about the lows... My timing was good as I covered 20 and change and it rallied to nearly 25 after I covered.
