    It felt like spring when I walked outside to warm up the car this morning–and the car didn’t really even need warming. It was pleasantly warm out for a March morning, overcast, with a strong breeze blowing through the air and the smell of spring in the distance. It’s supposed to get up in to…

  • Catching up on Gotham

    09 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Because of the Vegas trip, I got behind in my reading of Gotham, which I am still enjoying, very much. Originally, I needed to read 34 pages a day to finish the book by March 31. I recalculated this morning and now have to up the pace to 40 pages per day in order to…

    My accountant, who I’ve been using since something like 1999 or 2000 retired last year and so this year, I am forced to find someone new. I called H&R Block this morning and arranged a tax appointment for Saturday morning at 10 AM with the guy with whom I spoke on the phone, Ron. I’ve…

Doug sent some pictures of Carson yesterday and said he would try and send a few more soon. He brought Ruby to…
