What’s Up?
I finished up the re-do of my 2014 tax return. I head over to Lakeland tomorrow morning for my 2013 audit at noon. I am 100% perfectly prepared. So busy was I today working on my taxes and helping a friend complete hers that I skipped my swim. I did take a very […]
What’s Up?
Got lots more work done on my 2014 tax return. All that I can say at this point is that I am most thankful that I was audited…. I will explain after the audit is completed. Had time for a swim and a really cold ice bath: 58.3 degrees when I got out […]
What’s Up
I worked hard on re-doing the 2014 tax return in the morning and then got lazy, i.e., I spent the rest of the day and night watching various NFL games (I have NFL package) and some UFC on Tivo. And ate too much. Ah, once in a great while is not too, too […]
What’s Up?
Got a ton of work done yesterday on the re-do of my 2014 taxes. I streamlined the new techniques that I came up with while preparing for my 2013 audit and the new system works like a charm; it allows me to work much faster and more accurately than before. For the first […]

I began work on re-doing my 2014 taxes based on what I learned preparing for the audit of my 2013 tax return. A nice swim and an ice bath as usual.
This blog post took about a 75 minutes to prepare. It should be published automatically at 6am on Saturday, September 26, 2015. […]

My pre-audit meeting with Chip Jackson went extremely well. He said, “I have never gone into an audit with someone as well prepared and documented as you are.” We shall see how it goes. As a result of what I have learned getting ready for the 2013 audit, I have decided to re-do my […]

I will be getting up early on Thursday to get ready for my pre-audit meeting with my wonderful accountant. He is driving over from Largo. Next Wednesday Jim will be re-tracing his route when he drives me to the audit in Clearwater. I made time for a swim and an ice bath on Wednesday. […]

I am just about ready to meet the accountant on Thursday for our pre-audit meeting. I skipped my swim as my shoulder ached a bit but enjoyed my ice bath a ton. I will be back in the pool tomorrow for sure.
This blog post took about 1 1/2 hours to prepare, most […]
What’s Up?
More work on the audit. Almost done. Another sunny day swim and another great ice bath (though not as cold as last night’s). Try this on for size: when I am away from home without ice baths I get up almost every hour to make a pit stop. Not good. As soon as […]
A Belated Happy Birthday
I’d like to wish my Mom, Hazel Louise Morris, a belated happy birthday; she was 93 on Saturday. She’s been a great Mom forever. I got to “see” her today when my younger daughter Alissa Skyped me on her i-Pad.
Condolences
Condolences to both the NY Football Giants and their […]

Lots more work on the audit on Saturday, poring over credit card statements and entering spreadsheet data until my eyes were popping out of my head. Enjoyed a swim and an ice bath. The swim was my first with blue skies and sun in as long as I can remember.
After somewhat of […]

Took a day off from audit stuff on Friday; Jennifer did not. 🙂 I sent Jim home early for service above and beyond the call of duty. As usual.
After somewhat of a lull, several more items on the Used Gear Page sold in the past few days. See the complete listings here. […]

More work on the audit. A swim and an ice bath. This week’s ritual. With Jennifer’s help I am making some good progress on the audit. There have been lots of sales on the Used Gear page over the last few days. Most recently Joseph Higbee sold his Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS ll […]

I devoted all of the morning to solving a sticky problem with my 2013 audit. It took me about 6 hours to find the file I needed but once I did everything turned rosy. Then I Tivo-ed and watched most of pretty much every NFL game via Direct TV’s NFL Ticket. The NY Giant’s […]

I did lots of work on my upcoming audit and answered lots of e-mails. Strangely, my latest addiction is Tivo-ing and watching every UFC event on the tube…. Strange because my last (and one and only fight if you could call it that), occurred when I was about 13. At Camp Welmet. Over a […]

While I was away I learned that my 2013 tax return was being audited at the end of this month. Our records are excellent so it will just be a large inconvenience (gathering everything that has been requested) and a large expense (hiring my excellent accountant, a retired IRS agent, to respond to the […]
Arctic Pro Muck Boots
As a diabetic, my feet are often cold. More so of course when I visit cold places to photograph. Both artie and Denise Ippolito wear Arctic Pro Muck Boots to keep their feet warm. And dry. In Japan. In the Falklands. On South Georgia. In Antarctica. At Bosque. For […]
