A belated Happy Birthday to grand-daughter Dano. I always know how old she is because her birth coincides with the year your Mom and I moved to Appleton. That was 1985. That makes Dano 21. Right! And that make me 65. Happy Birthday Dano.
The flow of free money continues. Your Mom and I used another Christmas gift certificate. We got to see the “Legends” at the Fireside. It was a little different from previous years where they featured local band artists. Legends means an Elvis impersonator among others. I can’t believe I am admitting this but the best impersonator of the day might have been Elton John. Elton John? I don’t even like Elton.
Here is my “money” tip of the month. You are all getting ready to mail your 2015 taxes or have already “done so”. When you get your refund, put it in the bank. Don’t pi– it away on something frivolous and un-needed. It is the easiest “savings exercise” you will ever experience. Compound the tax refund by investing it wisely and someday you’ll be rich. Just saying!
The reward for the best players in the NFL is to be named to the Pro-Bowl “All-Star Game” in Hawaii. The player gets to take his family to Hawaii for a week, play a silly game of “tag” football (nobody wants to take a chance of getting hurt) and then fly home. Players don’t want to go. They are tired. They risk injury and it takes 10-15 hours flying time. I see Aaron Rogers feigned an injury and will not attend. Coach Mike McCarthy of our Packers was to be the coach of the NFC squad. Oops! He has a stomach virus and can’t make it. Did the NFL ever consider dropping the All-Star event. Could money be involved?
January is over!
Love,
Dad
