California man losing nine homes in mortgage mess | U.S. | Reuters

I can relate to this "California" man all too well right now. I appreciate his attitude and outlook. We have taken the same approach to the downturn and its impact on our properties.

California man losing nine homes in mortgage mess U.S. Reuters: "A California man who has defaulted on nine homes and expects banks to foreclose on all of them, forcing him into bankruptcy, says he now considers it a mistake to have invested in the real estate market.

Shawn Forgaard, a 37-year-old software company project manager, bought one home for his family to live in and nine more as investments. He stands to lose all the investment houses in the mortgage meltdown but says he has come away wiser from the experience."

Bob Marley

For some reason I have always assumed that Bob Marley died of an overdose. I have listened to and enjoyed his music off and on over the years. This short biography is worth the read. Most importantly, are the things you learn when facing the end of your life. See his last words below.

Bob Marley - encyclopedia article about Bob Marley.: "While flying home from Germany to Jamaica for his final days, Marley became ill, and landed in Miami for immediate medical attention. He died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami, Florida on the morning of May 11, 1981 at the age of 36. His final words to his son Ziggy were 'Money can't buy life.'"
