I'm having a very hard time being motivated today.  We woke up to cold, wet and blowing snow.  This makes it difficult to get out of one's PJ's.  Being January, life is getting rather boring.  I found myself this week flipping through summer 'up north' vacation pictures, while emitting heavy sighs.  The weather, coupled with the daily grind, presses the dream upon me of selling all my earthly possessions so I could move north to live in simplicity and peace.  Ahhh.....one can dream.  In the meantime, I'm going shopping for shoes.

All this talk about a rich surtax. Someone has yet to explain why a flat, proportional percent tax won't work. Seems fair to me.

I had an epiphany tonight.  After years of struggling with political views that cross between the world of Republican and Democratic policy, I have come to the conclusion that I consider myself a Libertarian.  Now, if I could just figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life, I'll have it made.
