Say, you’re 22 and spend $5 a day on fancy coffee. By retirement (62, for example), you’ll have gulped away $72,800! Put it in an IRA instead, and with interest, you’d have $179,256 (based on 4% APY).
Coffee is no good for you anyway.

Google saved me a lot of money this week.
1. The office printer Phaser 8200 wasn’t working. The code on the machine says to call for repair. So I called an authorized repair shop. Can you believe they charge $150 per hour – the hourly charge begins when the repairman leaves the shop to the time he returns to the shop! I decided to see if we can fix it ourselves.
I am half way through reading Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I am not going to read the rest of it. I don’t like the book.
Is it ok to dislike a book that is suppose to be a literary classic?

Mike and I drove to USC to have breakfast with Elliot this morning. When we left the house, my mother-in-law also went out at the same time. She wanted to walk to the swapmeet at the high school a little over a mile away. We drove about 35 miles to USC, had breakfast with Elliot at the Intervarsity Trojan Christian Fellowship group, and drove 35 miles back. We got home within a minute of my mother-in-law.
Have you heard of Kay Arthur and Precept Ministries?
After 10 years of Bible study with BSF, I am making a change this year.
I joined a Precept Bible study group for women held at my friends church in Chino Hills. We will cover the book of II Timothy.
This is to remind myself what I can make for dinner when I can’t think of what to make:
Spinach stuffed sole
Meatloaf
Veggie Lasagna
Seafood alfredo
I am kind of a paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy. :)
Chocolate, technically Audrey’s dog, but in reality we all have to take care of him, taught me a lesson today.
He was scratching at the door, as he usually does when he wants to go out. I take him out to do his business.
We came back into the house, and he scratches again. I let him out to play, but he came right back in.

Our annual trip to the LA County fair took place last Saturday.
AND WE FINALLY DID IT! YES! We bought the $400 Vita-Mix that we have been drooling over every year!
Last year, I said if I have a really good year selling real estate, we may buy one. This year is…
Heard a few old favorites in a seminar yesterday:
Knowing without doing is the same as not knowing.
(I think in some ways it is worst. It produces arrogance.)
