I survived the holiday baking season. The only thing I can say without going into details is that it was awful by the end and I am so glad it’s over! Terrible to say that isn’t it? During that time though I am happy to report a very good thing and very bummed to reportContinue reading “Not Impressed With Our Debt -Weeks 18 -21”

Week 14 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt – October 2018 Results
