And We’re Back”¦

Thanks everyone for sticking with Blown Mortgage through my brief respite in Mexico. I’m refreshed and reinvigorated, ready to take Blown Mortgage to another level of (hopefully) useful and colorful commentary on the mortgage morass.

A couple of quick off-topic notes.

1. Fly Virgin America if you can. Highly recommend. Best travel experience to-date. They get it and blow others away. JetBlue, Southwest? Forget it. Virgin America is amazing.

2. I’m not going on another cruise - ever. Never was a big fan of cruises for a variety of reasons and while the cruise was pleasant I’m embarrassed that I patronized a company that requires its workers to work 7-days a week 11-14 hour days for ridiculously low wages with little to no chance of promotion while charging insane markups on internet and phone to keep in-touch with distant family members. Maybe reading Andrew Carnegie’s biography at the same time didn’t help; but I couldn’t help but think of the word “exploitation.” I’ll probably have more to say on this.

3. Talk about specuvesting - Cabo San Lucas is a poster-child. Talk about a coast-line of over-built, half-built condo buildings and you get the picture. So many unfinished with no signs of life. If you could find a loan you could probably start snapping up some bargains in Cabo. On the other-hand, give it another 6-12 months to let the pain set in; then take a look.
