Yesterday, the 16th, marked the 5 month anniversary of my open heart surgery. I guess you would could call it the anniversary of my rebirth (no I am not a religious zealot). For me you call it a restart.
Things have been good since Christmas. I have a gift card to my favorite restaurant so I eat “free”. The restaurant also tracks the dollars I spend and I keep acummulating bonus points towards a free meal. Also this month, after attending the restaurant 4 times, I get $10 off a meal. If this keeps up, they will pay me to eat there.
Grasshopper No.3 has been plowing a lot. I mean a lot. I know he has been watching re-runs of “Breaking Bad”. Near the end of the series, the high school professor is making so much money, he can’t manage all the cash. He ends up putting it in temporary storage sheds piled high on pallets. Grasshopper No.3 asked if he could pile cash at my house (implying that he was earning lots of overtime money plowing just like in Breaking Bad). I told him to “just bring it”. I could handle any all the cash he sends my way. We should all have the problem of what to do with all the cash.
Usually this time of year, I begin making out parts of my Federal and State Income Tax forms. I understand that the Federal government will not even accept filings before Feb.1. That means my refund will be later. That means I will have to put off buying my new car until later Spring.
If you are an NFL football affectionado, this is your weekend. 4 top pro football teams compete for the right to go to the Super Bowl. The winners will be New England and Seattle.
Love,
Dad
