Time’s a Wastin’Back in my working days, I could write checks to pay all my bills and balance my checkbook in a couple of hours after dinner. Now it seems as if it takes me most of the day.

My three sisters and I have had a wonderful time in spite… click here to continue February, 22nd, 2005 Off to Soggy Southern CaliforniaIt’s a gorgeous morning slightly Southwest of Portland, Oregon.
