Everything You Wanted to Know About the Federal Reserve*

*but were afraid to ask

Guess where I went today. That's right! I went downtown to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago to learn about...the Federal Reserve System. Man, it was boring. I have to go again tomorrow.

I rode the train there and back. This afternoon I walked home from the train station, 3.5 miles, wearing a suit, of course. Somebody apparently told my computer, since it decided to not start. I turned it off and decided to do some work under the hood that I had been meaning to do anyway, and here I am, a few hours later, with none of the stuff (well, I just called Kyle, that's one thing down) that I had planned to do today done. I have to do a Level 1 Diagnostic (that's Trekkie for: "Make sure everything still works"), and I am really tired. I say, the Federal Reserve should be like a Variable Phase Inducer. Nobody knows what it is or how it works, but nobody really cares, either.
