    Details coming soon. With all of this travel, I am still trying to catch up. The day began with a short walk, followed by a yummy breakfast.

    I don’t use Quicken or Microsoft Money for keeping track of my finances. Since 1997, I use some software that I developed myself and which I call “The Model” for doing this and it has worked very well for me in all of that time. I am about to start down the road of doing…
