Interesting similarities . . 32 years later!


I thoroughly enjoyed this romp (even if it got a bit silly when Louise couldn't swim). But most of all, it's ironic that we're right back where it started from, only it is 2012!
I can barely make ends meet, my rent keeps increasing, and the stock market looks awful. Very sad. These three schemers had me interested from the get-go.
I went to bed fantazing what I'd do if I suddenly received a windfall (counting cash on my bed). I was afraid Dabney Coleman might screw it all up, but everything fell into place nicely by the end, didn't it? Funny, light, and what a nice way to pass a summer's evening from TV re-runs.

Hope you stayed in the market through 2013 and 2014. The market rose 30% in 2013 and 12-14% in 2014. Last year (2015) was flat and this year is scary bad so far, so good luck!!

At least gas is cheaper, right??
