A Very Good Day at the Offices
9:00 AM - 10:00 PM: Meeting with CPA on 2007 taxes
For the first time in a few years, we are getting a refund from the IRS. Mid-term and long-term, this is not necessarily a good thing; but short term it is nice. The refund was due to an estimation error for fourth quarter activity coupled with not remembering a tax credit on the hybrid car we purchased early last year. Normally I prefer to owe some taxes, not enough to be penalized but close to it. It's a little better mid-term and long-term. But getting a refund for a changed does feel good.
10:30 AM - 2:00 PM: Home Office: complete next milestone on a project for part time job
Major milestone met. While there will be more work to do on this project in a couple of weeks, this thing is off my desk for now. My boss will likely not fire me during next Monday's meeting. He probably wouldn't anyway but it's nice to be on the safe side.
3:00 PM: Appointment with Shirley's Surgeon
She is healing well from last week's surgery. The pathology reports show that she will not need further surgery although some follow-up preventive medication is indicated. Nothing too drastic. This is really good news after several weeks of what seemed like one bad thing after another. Sure, she'll have a few follow-up visits with doctors over the next several weeks but things are definitely looking up.
I hope to post something fun tomorrow. Think of drunken gods!

It was especially fine to hear how well Shirley is doing.

Hi Duane!
A voice from the past here--waaay back.
I happened across your blogs while searching for the origin of a word from the bible. My suspicion that you were the Duane Smith from Bell/Maywood was confirmed when I read your comments about Shirley.
Please give her my best wishes.
