“Just like me… they long to be… close to you…”
Okay, okay. You probably think ol’ Rich has fallen off his rocker this time, but hear me out… Because there’s a whole lot of wisdom in that one line from the Carpenters’ 1970 smash hit. And it has absolutely nothing to do with birds suddenly appearing every time you are near....
Sleeping in… Barbecues… Dinners out with friends. Weekends can be rough! At least, as far as your body is concerned. But it’s easy to prevent weekend weight gain. Just make sure you work out regularly. (Doing it early in the day is best, and you’ll get a more powerful workout if you combine short-burst exercises with multi-muscle techniques.) And watch what you eat. http://www.earlytorise.com/2009/04/25/dont-work-too-hard.html#brief2
“Travail” (truh-VALE) - from the Latin for a three-staked instrument of torture - is painful or arduous work.
Real estate investing has given my husband and me a great deal of freedom to do what we want with our lives. Whether we decide to putter around the yard, go mountain biking, or focus on our Internet business, we are making money from our properties. Many would say we’re earning passive income, but we no longer do.
It must be the only hotel in New York City, nay, the world, that doesn’t have automatic doors.
But wait! It does have a doorman. Seems friendly enough when you pull up in a cab. Offers to take your bag.

Do you suffer from restless leg syndrome (RLS)? Until 2003, no one had heard of this “common yet under-recognized disorder” that keeps Americans awake at night.
Stanley Bergen has a problem. As a regular reader of ETR and a new member of the Oxford Club, he’s getting so much good stuff from us (he’s especially interested in learning how to “eliminate some debt” and retire one day) that he “can’t figure out what to read.”
Issue #2653
WEALTHY: Lower your risk and start making money (Steve McDonald)
HEALTHY: Do you have restless leg syndrome? (Kelley Herring)
WISE: Marshall McLuhan on information overload
ALSO IN THIS ISSUE:
Getting the most out of the information you get (Michael Masterson)

It’s Good to Know… about the FDA [...]
Since the market turned around and started doing its rocket imitation, most people I have spoken to are shaking their heads saying, “It isn’t real,” “It has no legs,” and “It’s 1933 all over again.” Since when are we supposed to be suspicious of a rally?
The stock advice for American travelers seeking safety information for other countries is to check out the advisories at travel.state.gov. It is also recommended that you register with the State Department before your trip, and then check in with the local U.S. embassy or consulate once you get there.
