I am sorry, but nothing will create more frustration for me than people’s greed to trademark names and places. Today’s example is “Shire.” In an attempt to produce future royalty payments, an attempt is being made to trademark the word. A shire is a traditional term for a division of […]
2012 may not be the end of the world as predicted by the Mayan calendar, but it is the end of my professional career as a tax professional. Oh I will always prepare a few for family and friends, but for the general public, the 2011 returns represents my last. […]
In previous thoughts, I warned people to keep a 3-state perimeter from me if I decide to go golfing. OMG, or “Oh My Golfing” as I call it, is a source for non-stop comedy. How many of you have seen the movie “Caddy Shack” with Bill Murray? I love how […]
