It took some gentle nagging but Paul did buy 20 shares of Cisco this
morning.  Last week he sent his $2,000 check for this year's IRA to
Fidelity, so we had to wait till that was done (I would have just driven
it up to Durham if that office weren't closed).  I knew he needed my
"help" so I offered to help him yesterday morning. In principle he
thought that was a good idea because he had heard they were about to
make some kind of product announcement that day. But as it happened, he
said he was too busy all day . . . and all afternoon . . . meanwhile
Cisco rose 4 points by the end of the day, after the expected product
announcement.

This morning at home, before 9:00, he did get on line, got his PIN, and
was about to do it, but neither of us thought it was probably very
bright to put the order in before the market opened. (Actually, I might
have done that, but I know how cautious he is; and anyway, I would have
bought yesterday morning!) Given that there is bombing going on, he
thought everything might take a dive. Of course, it didn't, and by 10:00
it had gone up some more, almost 3 points to $107, where it is still
hovering. It's been as high as $117 lately, so I still think he'll be
all right in the long run.

I'll try to work on air reservations this afternoon. Did get your
package mailed this a.m., without anything for Russ. Paul says we should
just try something else--but what?
