Caveman and a day with the “girls”…

Today my wife had planned a day out with her 3 nieces ages 12, 15, and 17.  They must have  all been very excited because they came to our house early, like 2 hours too early!  When they arrived my wife had just started breakfast, so they ate with us…caveman doesn’t know what to think of a bunch of giggling girls at the breakfast table, so I went into the study to get away.  They curled each others hair, went thru the wife’s cloths, and put on each others make up. FINALLY they were all ready to head out to the mall or wherever women and girls hang out for a day.

I got to tell you when the door shut, I sighed a long sigh of relief!  Finally, some caveman time to do whatever the hell I wanted!  Not that I had any plans to do anything but sit and watch the History Channel, but hey maybe I wanted to do that in my briefs or maybe run around the cave in my birthday suit!  No, but if I wanted to I thought, damn finally I could without anyone telling me to cover it up!

The Biggest CEO Firings of 2008

Several well-known CEOs got the ax this year, including Lehman Brothers’ Richard Fuld, Bear Stearns’ James Cayne and AIG’s Martin Sullivan.

The bloodletting in the c-suite started in 2007. It still hasn’t stopped.

Another year goes by and more chief executives get the ax–probably more than in any previous year. People shook their heads when Charles Prince III at Citigroup and Stanley O’Neal at Merrill Lynch got the boot in 2007. Now it look like they were lucky. They got out just in time.
