Six!

[George]

It felt almost like Spring.

That's exactly what I was thinking this afternoon, too!

[George]

So, to make up for it, we are going to have heavy rain and winds for the rest of the week.

Oh...darn.

It felt almost like Spring.

It was a really nice day.

A bit of shopping this morning.....I have received two of the three documents I need to file my taxes.....hopefully the third on will be here before next week.

You and me both.  I just wish I would get the third document.

As of last year, I'm back to the 1040EZ form.  My mortgage interest isn't enough anymore to be able to deduct it.

How many years have you been there?

I've been here 9 years, but about a year and a half after I moved here,  I refinanced from a 30-year mortgage to a 15-year mortgage, so now I only have about six and a half years left.

That is impressive.

...which means that I'll have it paid off 10 years before I retire instead of five years after.

You have sixteen and a half years before you retire?

At least. If I go to 67, which I figure I'll have to.  AND I already have 27 1/2 years in.

By 2015, there will be more plastic in the oceans than there will be fish.

[Jane]

It was beautiful and almost spring likehere as well.  Mt Hood looked especially beautiful.

[TCB]

That is what they just said on the news.

[TCB]

I wonder who counts these things?

You already have 27 1/2 years at your job?

I was reading a really scary article about the future(?) of Social Security.

Yup.  I started back in 1984 as a page while going to Centralia College for my AA, but page time back then didn't count towards seniority.  I quit when I went to Western Washington University for my junior and first senior years.  The last time I left (for my second senior year), they changed it so that page time DID count for seniority, so they put me on "inactive" status.  I came back in October 1989 after graduating and have been there ever since.  Because of that "inactive" year, I was able to have my adjusted seniority date go back to 1988.

[TCB]

Actually, according to the article, there is no future.

[George]

I was reading a really scary article about the future(?) of Social Security.

Yup...which is why I figure that I'll probably have to work until I'm at least 67, or even older.  One of my staff is retiring this year and she's 68.  A couple of people didn't retire until they were older than 70.  Fortunately, they were still able to work, but they needed to keep working.

I need to go take my pills and get ready for bed.  I will try to get on my iPad, but I am not sure it is going to work.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice to keep working.

I made it online, but not sure how long it will take to post.

[TCB]

Wow!  That was easy.

[TCB]

I don't know what was wrong last night.

[TCB]

But I won't complain.

[TCB]

Hey, George, should we go for page seven?

[George]

Hey, George, should we go for page seven?

Sounds like a plan!

[George]

PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[George]

I have had the song, "Out There" from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame going through my head all day.

[George]

Today, I got the new studio cast recording of the stage version of the show.

[George]

I think they added a new song that wasn't on the 1999 German cast recording, which I love.

[George]

This new recording is pretty good, in my opinion.

[George]

And since we're now so close...
