Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
I have absolutely the best luck in the whole world. Not too long ago, I was sent an email from Peter Boltton. He claimed that his boss died in a terrible plane crash and he needed help getting the money that his boss left behind. He wanted to list me as his next of kin and I could share in all the money that he

I was flipping channels yesterday while I was taking a break from working on the cabin. Out at our family cabin that is across the street from the place we are building, we only have about 8 channels.

It’s been awhile since I’ve mentioned how things are going with the fire claim on my parent’s house. You’ll recall that late last year my parent’s had a massive fire at their house in the middle of December and then my father passed away from a heart attack on New Years Eve.
