Top News Items

  • Digital camera has been repaired and is on its way back to us. I used my backup in the meantime but it has a broken flash among other things.
  • I just played how to fly a family of five to DC and back for less than $500 and won. I also said goodbye to 40K hard-earned frequent flier miles. 
  • I cashed in all the credit card points I had to get a $50 gift card to Panera to be used.
  • Mike canceled his gym membership, I canceled the kids' art classes, and in a week I will cancel our Netflix. Trimming excess from the budget. 
  • I watched "Make Way for Tomorrow" last night. Orson Welles said it could "make a rock cry." I'm pretty much a pillow so I bawled like a baby. A Depression-era film, it is good viewing for people who need to feel grateful.

RE: Netflix. I've found more and more that our local library has the recent releases on DVD within a few weeks/months of their release. You might check your library system and find that you don't even miss Netflix.
