Ben Fry’s zipcode viewer Ok. This is awesome! Type a digit to highlight a zipcode area. See all the areas by typing 0-9 (one number at a time). Now type your zipcode and watch the region shrink while you type. Next, type Z to turn on soom then retype your zipcode. Pretty nifty! Good work Ben Fry!
Fish Story
My Uncle was in good spirits
So after helping my client I decided to drop in my Uncle. My Uncle explained that I had not filed taxes in 4 years and that on the first 3 of those it looks like I did not owe anything but the first 2 I would have been due refunds (no longer available). My Uncle was pleasant and assured me that I’m in no real trouble and told me how to get on with the paperwork.
Did you know that if it looks like you owe money and you don’t file a return that the IRS will prepare a return for you (with zero deductions) and send you a bill? That is what I’m working on avoiding with this past year.

This Morning
The morning went well. I’ve learned how to park downtown so I had fewer hassles (although I was 1 penny short of the $1.50 parking fee). I was able to fix my client’s woes rapidly.
She’s a movin on up!
Amy’s nightmares
I’ve now given Amy something scary to dream about. Tommy and Sarah got excited about driving through a car wash. I thought fearless Amy that enjoyed the fireworks so much and loves the rain would get a hoot out of it. She became so terrified that I almost just drove out while the machine was running. I felt so helpless.
Motorcades
President Bush is in town today which means traffic woes and votes will be bought.
We missed getting stopped by a road block by 30 seconds. Whether it was for the presidential motorcade or the assine 100 days of road blocks to raise money for the police department I’m not sure. I still think those should be illegal. By what right do they have to stop me if I’m not breaking any laws? Seems completely unjust! Of course, we are breaking a law by not having Noah in a proper child restraint device and that will cost us $300-500 but that’s another story.
The music starts again
Like musical chairs I’m off to another meeting. The first one went well. This next is Tommy’s doctor and we will all sit around and say “hmmmm” then change his antidepressant.
Some good looking ads in Sunday’s paper. Must answer them.
My day in a nutshell:
1) meeting
2) pt sql fax
3) tommy meeting
4) lunch
5) another app
6) noah
7) irs or swingi

This Morning
Only cleaned up puppy poo once last night…then 3 times this morning.
Off to a meeting!
Afternoon/Evening
Our new dog is smart…too smart. Escaped her cage 1.5 times today. At 2 mths she’s already learning to play fetch. She’ll chase a tennis ball then follow me all over the house to return it to me!
The grandfather took the boys and I to the gun show today. Saw some really cool stuff dating back to the mid 1800s. The WWII generation stuff made me think of my own grandfathers one picking bodies out of the water at Normandy and the other working with chemical weapons in Kentucky. There should be many stories there. I would have liked to been the Keeper of Tales for the family but was not gifted with the ambition nor the memory.
Afterwards we spent some time at the pool then returned home for fairly typical evening chaos.
Overall happy family today.
Whoosh!
The day is flying by. At least I’ve made some progress in the bathroom (sure.. let your minds wander).

This Morning
Woke 3 time last night to clean up Puppy Poo (say that with a Scrappy Doo voice). Almost got myself to stay up at 3am and work. Instead slept in until 10am (what a bum!) but how refreshing! I so needed that!
Brewed my last half pot of coffee and am now heading up for the final cup. Yikes! I could use a full pot today.
Yesterday Afternoon/Evening
Laundry got interupted for evening plans but it was well worth it. The grandparents took the kids, wife and I to see Spiderman II! It was exceptional!! I give it a high recommend.

Tommy just asked Amy to “be a frog” and she obliged him by getting on all fours with butt up in the air and hopped around the floor. It was definitely a video moment. He is good to her and she enjoys him!

This Morning
I’ve never DNS so slow to propagate as what CFXHosting did this round. DomesticPsychology.com back up..it’s email still down. CFNinja.com remains down…it’s email still down.
This morning I wanted to be left alone to hide under the sheets while everyone else started their day. Just 30 minutes however circumstances would not allow that and for that I am happy. Cleaned a very messy dog situation. Amy wandered down the stairs on her own to say “Gmorning!” I could hear someone slowly coming down the stairs and thought it was Noah trying to be sneaky. Apparently Noah and Sarah were caught up in their television and morning doings each failing to realize the gate to the stairs was open and neither recognizing that Amy was missing. Very humorous.
