Traffic for 2005 March 14

A whole week of nice weather is now gone. It's so cold outside. March in Utah is such a tease.

Last weekend I taught my five year-old niece Ember her multiplication tables. Today my sister-in-law said that she does them every day now. Thus begins the makings of a good accountant.

I got a 99 on my individual tax test; it would have been 100, but I didn't know that a back-hoe was five year property, and I classified it as seven year property. Yeah, like I memorized the 70+ depreciation class tables. Oh well; I at least feel more confident in doing VITA with that grade.

Last night was fun. All of Susie's cousins came over for dinner. Susie made brocoli chicken casserole, and I made spinach salad. Dinner conversation included but was not limited to the followinng topics:

• Deep church doctrine

• Mom locking Anne in the closet

• cat food

• Reality TV in all its glory

• family reunions

• retirement homes

• dating and the single life

• Morgan vs. Heber

• The "Heber Claw"

• Japanese Sunday School and toilets

• the Omans

• journals vs. weblogs

• estates, big ones

• and more!

Let the good times roll.
