What is this? My Son-in-Law is a celebrity. Yep, he made the front page of the Post Cresent paper. Something about business in Madison. Naw, it must be someone else.
I see that our next President, Hilliary Clinton was using her personal e-mail system for government business while she was Secretary of State. Apparently it is illegal because the government wants a record of “business of State” posted on their e-mail system. Really Hilliary, tell me it isn’t so!
And then there is the Russian who was once a candidate for Russian President. He lost. Lately he had been protesting Russian politics and the policies of the current President, Putin. The protesting Russian was gunned down in the streets of Moscow. Putin is noted for being ruthless and was once the head of the KGB (secret service). Putin said he was shocked at the “shooting”. Putin says, rest easy, he will investigate and get to the bottom of the issue. Isn’t that like the fox checking out the chicken coop.
Enough politics. The circus is all around us.
I have indicated that financial counselers recommend getting rid of one car to reduce expenses. Your Mom has not agreed to give up her car. The next big recommendation on reducing family expenses is to “down size” our home. Yep, that is next on my list. Sell our home. Buy small home. Smaller mortgage. Less taxes. Reduced insurance costs. There is an even better solution. Instead of downsizing to a smaller home, we should sell our house and move in with our favorite Grasshopper. That really is a financial bonanza. Free lodging. Free meals. No more snow shoveling. I wonder if I could even negotiate an “allowance”. Whoa! Now all I have to do is notify our favoite Grasshopper of our decision. Aren’t you lucky?
Snow today! Warmer towards the weekend. As my favorite philosopher said “winter ain’t over until it is over”. I don’t think it is over folks.
Love,
Dad
