Because I'm too tired to come up with anything else….
The only disadvantage to a wickedly productive weekend is that I’m too tired and content to think of anything original. Please to enjoy “What’s Opera Doc” starring Bugs Bunny. This was my introduction to the world of opera and I haven’t gone any further (unless Bugs is in it, I’m not listening). Thanks to Scott… Continue reading

We do more before 10:00 am then most people do all day!
We had a lovely productive day today. Slept in until 7:00 am and then Mr. B made breakfast (he being the resident chef)–special pancakes with brown sugar and a hint of nutmeg and bacon (lots of bacon).

According to the article linked by Annmarie, as soon as next week the US Treasury and Labor Departments are going to open for public comment the idea of ‘promoting 401(k)s… Continue reading
