For the last three weeks we have had crappy weather, which in turn lasts until Monday, so that the crappiest day of all the week is crappified by the power of ten. If you have 3 crappy weather systems spun by polar vortices you get crap to the power of […]
I’ve never had really deep thoughts about an obituary until today. A 29 year-old lady at my office told me I was sweet for opening the door and answering her QuickBooks questions. My reply was that I was sweet because I didn’t want my obituary to read: “Mauled by female […]
I am currently working for a local CPA firm until our move to Kauai is complete. Yes, I know, I know… I’ve been writing about this for over a year. A house is in the escrow process, but until then, I wanted to stay busy and make a little money. […]
