We are gradually improving for the year, but it's still painful to review our investments. TXT-CSNA booted us out for 10 business days, 2 of which were unpaid unless you took vacation. 2009 still looks bad. I read a Biz Week article this week talking about the increase in used jets. No way we make it without another layoff. The project I'm on is going to be extended due to missing a date. The consultants will probably be around for another 3-6 months.

We are due for our plan review on 12/29. We almost have the trust fully funded. It will be good to get that completed. J and I have decided to forego new taxable equity investments next year in order to pay cash for a vehicle. I have always wanted to do that. We'll continue to fund our retirement investments and hope for some sort of recovery.
