At a client in Mundeline today.  May do TRX tonight.  Anne's grandmother will be lucky to make it through today.  Anne went to Indy this morning, depending on what happens I may go tonight.  Her grandmother is 106 years old, so it isn't a shock.  

Anne's grandmother passed tonight. Heading to Indy sometime in the next few days.

Just did our taxes.  Got a nice refund from the fed's.  Not too pleased about that though.  My goal at tax time is to end up with zero refund or owe a small amount.  I cannot stomach giving the federal government a 12 month interest free loan.  Each year we try and end up with 0 refund or owing a couple hundred bucks.  I can grow my money much better than giving the fed's a free loan.

As for Illinois I noticed that thanks to the brilliant asshats that run this state we got the privilege of paying an extra $5k in personal income taxes due to them almost doubling the income tax rate.  Yet when I look at my W2, my income didn't double.  Yet the state of Illinois is still broke and will be raising taxes again.  Gotta love it.
