Readers, sorry that I didn’t post anything on Friday, and that I’m late today. All I can say is I’m going through some difficult personal times right now. Also, I’m terribly busy with non-writing things around the house. For example, all morning so far I’ve been trying to estimate my income tax due next year for the 2022 tax year. I have to figure out if I will need to make an interim payment to the government so that I won’t be hit with penalties and interest. Since this year had one unusual income item (sale of all my stock in my former company), this is quite important.

I have other things going on, such as needing to replace the microwave oven (difficult since it’s a built-in), needing to get our main car to the shop, needing to get our back-up car running, cleaning/resetting things after some inside repairs, needing to schedule appointments. That doesn’t seem to include everything. Oh, yes, voting tomorrow, and figuring out who I’m going to vote for in local races.

So, I’m unable to do any better post than this today. Here’s hope for a real post on Friday, because I have much to tell.
