“Spinning” The Dream

The big question is “Do your Mom and I renew season tickets for the UW-Badger football games”?  Hmmm!

The Milwaukee Brewers start broadcasting Cactus League games next Thursday.  Spring is in the air.  Rest still my heart.  I understand the Timber Rattlers players (Appleton) will be substituted for the Brewers because they don’t have any players left after all the “off-season” trades.  The Brewers are spinning some sort of a “bullsh– rebuilding strategy”.

I am a student of the “Oprah Effect”.  She bought 10% of the Weight- Watchers company last year for hundreds of millions of dollars at $7 per share of stock.  Greedy investors noting Oprah’s involvement also bought WeightWatcher stock pushing the value up to $26 per share.  She tripled her money.  Alas recently WeightWatchers reported that membership had actually declined since Oprah got involved.  The stock is now at $11 per share and on the way down. I’m still betting on Oprah.

I found a PDQ car wash certificate dating back to 2010 (it was an Xmas gift). PDQ honored it.  I got my car cleaned for free.  The car gets better gas mileage (less wind resistance from the dirt) and it goes fast again.  It is a fundamental truth … clean cars go faster.

I plugged my financial numbers for 2015 into Turbo-tax.  It calculated my tax obligations to Federal and State.  Can I redo Turbo-Tax until I get the numbers I like?

This will be the last weekend of February.  Whoa!

Love,

Dad
