...Well, back, actually. There were some technical problems yesterday with the, to borrow from Northern Ireland, "unpleasantries," and I've been unwired most of today because of a vicious ice storn, or I would have been here earlier to post something.

That something is that I bear the Fool no ill will. Economic realities are just that, and I was not surprised. As I said to my (former) boss, I wasn't looking for a job when I found this one.

I've seen several kind comments and anticipate that I'll see more as I catch up. I thank you all, and rest assured that my jaundiced eye will still be looking for ways I can help people muddle through the Tax Code.
