4/8/05 Dick Sears Weekly Update: Just the Facts,
Ma'am
All I have for you today is the facts -- the
various numbers and charts that I update
every week. Written commentary is not
in the cards.
Blame it on the fact that today I'm making
the switch from an old computer to a new
one; or that I'm suffering from a cold; or
that I want to watch the Masters on TV.
All are true.
Whatever the reason, this is all she wrote.
