I don't watch many series, I do watch 24. Glad to see it is back next Monday.

April 29, 2014

The story of the Pacers / Hawks series is the ineffectiveness of Roy Hibbert.

April 28, 2014

Not today, but lots of rain coming. Good for the reservoirs and for being at work.

April 27, 2014

Can't believe it is almost May: Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day and Memorial Day.

“Don’t rush into cinco. Start with dos. Stay thirsty my friends.”

April 26, 2014

One load in, one to go.

April 25, 2014

Looks like it will be a Coppola Wine and NBA night. Not a bad thing when you think about it.

April 24, 2014

Well, starting the day with a work problem, put into motion solution modes. Let's wait and see. I would have handled it differently, but what's done is done, now for the mop up.

April 23, 2014

Hump Day !

April 22, 2014

Never realized my accumulating Chase reward points. Just received gift cards for Barnes and Noble, Best Buy and Dunkin Donuts. These things expire and I never even noticed until the other day.

April 21, 2014

A little motivation to start the week.

April 20, 2014

Easter, will do my usual, candy, chips and snacks, Boston Market Ham and Chicken, and homemade Mac and cheese. All day NBA playoffs. Looks like a plan.

April 19, 2014

One load done, one to go. Up and at 'em early.

April 18, 2014

Good Friday, day of quiet and reflection. NYSE closed. Hope to do some early work then coast into Easter.

April 17, 2014

Holy Thursday, brought back my visit to Milan where I saw the original Last Supper by DaVinci.

April 16,2014

Watched The Wolf of Wall Street last night. Similar to Goodfellas in many ways. Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey are very good in it.

April 15, 2014

My job feels like the run is almost over. I can retire now and I think it would be no problem financially. I keep going because this is what I've been doing for 28 years and I'm still pretty good at it. Going to run the string as long as I can and pay off debt. I could put tons into my 401K but paying the debt gets a greater return.

April 14, 2014

Just filed my youngest son's taxes. I claim him as a dependent and his part-time job doesn't take out enough withholding's. So, I pay $628. It is all good because he allows to claim my filing status as a Qualifying Widower. That saves me thousands. I even gave him some cash to make up for not getting a refund.

Palm Sunday today. Easter is late this year. Tomorrow starts Passover. We always had a Easter dinner which she made. Next week, I will go to Boston Market and get the dinner for six.

 One load in, one more to go. Threw in a bunch of towels also.

April 11, 2014

 On the subway last night, this is the ad some people want taken down.





  Gauguin: Metamorphoses at the MoMA sure looks interesting.

April 10, 2014

Ok, picked up the Roku streaming stick and installed it. Works fine and easy to set up.


 

Then I bought The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

April 9, 2014

NYS Tax refund in the account, that was super fast. Going to pick up Roku streaming stick tonight and DVD of The Desolation of Smaug. Don't want to cook so Popeye's is on the way back from Best Buy. Now for a tire rotation and an Oil change.

April 8, 2014

All hail the Huskies! Great tournament overall, one of the best yet. Shabazz Napier was a revelation. Don't know how good a pro he will be, but he sure is quick.

April 7, 2014

Yesterday was Spy Sunday. First, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.



 Later, Skyfall. Didn't recognize Albert Finney.

April 6, 2014

Last night on SNL, laugh out loud funny: VIDEO: Saturday Night Live presents "NCAA Tournament: Best of the White Guys" http://deadsp.in/ffVkj3V

April 5, 2014

Two loads, one done, the other in the dryer. Laundry Day, like clockwork.

April 4, 2014

Wow, that was quick. Filed last Saturday, $ in the account today and NYS will be here next week. Instead of paying over 4K, getting about 2K back. Qualifying Widower status saves the day.

April 3, 2014

Today would have been our 27th Anniversary. This weekend would be a trip to a downtown hotel, a good meal and the Final Four.

April 2, 2014

Went to a funeral for a friend yesterday, life is a gift.

April 1, 2014

Happy April Fool's Day !
