Last night, I got my financial analysis program running to the point where I can actually do the Analysis I want. It is not pretty, not particularly fast, there are some missing elements, secondary checks need to made for data that is not found on the first pass, and the GUI needs to be cleaned up a ton, but I have enough data now to get started with my testing of the program. It felt pretty good to be able to at least accumulate a comma delimited list that I can evaluate in an OpenOffice.org spreadsheet until I can get the functionality put into the program itself.

Lorena will take the kids to their music lessons today and then go off to have a cup of coffee with Roya at Starbucks and discuss the house we want to buy. This is the first evening in a long while that we do not have any huge thing planned. I am going to make a big effort to focus on the kids. Maybe we can get a new game or I can teach them how to play spades tonight! That is it! I will teach them how to play spades.
