Assets

My brother might have a new job.  If so, I have to drive him to C-bus.  I've driven through Columbus plenty of times this past year on my way to, well, Central Illinois.  Hopefully he'll be able to take Mr. Poopy with him down the road.  Being the new owner of a big golden doodle has been weighing on my head.  Annie really was Melissa's dog and having one and possibly two dogs impacts the places where I can live.  For example, I can't go to my mom's tiny apartment with two dogs and two cats (oh yes, there are two cats although they're pretty independent).  Maybe rent a house or duplex?

I got my second W2 today.  Just one small 1099 to go and I can e-file my taxes.  Some years I do the taxes for a zillion people.  Maybe I was a tax accountant in a previous life or maybe I want to get the most mileage out of Turbo Tax.  Turbo Tax is the only software product I buy each and every year.  I have a box of old TT versions from the time I got audited by the County of Cuyahoga aditor.  (Ten years ago I had an employer that didn't withold city taxes and I got stuck with the bill.  I have learned that it really doesn't matter who screwed up: The Man always gets paid.)

We went to see "Taken" this afternoon.  It was good if somewhat predictable.  The trailers for a couple of new movies (e.g., Crank 2)  had a better impact than another give-me-back-my-son/daughter action flick .  Although most of the movie takes place in Paris, no-one spoke French.  Not one word.   Er, pas un mot.
