Utilities Disconnected

Thursday, January 27th, 2000

Dear   [Lynn],

Okay, I’ll wait until Thursday to call. After all, as the song says:
“Everybody needs a little time away
That’s what they say
From each other”

On the taxes: Yep, this year I’m going to be brutalized by the IRS. Only 2 deductions and less than $200 in charitable contributions, although I did give away many pounds of old clothes. But next year, there should be sizeable mortgage interest to deduct.

No TV now. The cable service has been disconnected. Oh I suppose I could hook up a coat hanger and pull in a few of the local channels. But things are going to be so hectic the next couple days, I won’t have the time to worry about it. However, I still have the DVD player available. In fact, I might just watch one of the Star Trek movies tonight.

They turn these phones off on Sunday.

Read between the lines? Yes, as in, many a truth is said, in jest. :-)

Leaving Soon

Thursday, January 27th, 2000

Hi you   [Lynn].

Talked to Mom last night, and got her to relent on her wish to have any resale gains from her property distributed to all her children. While she wouldn’t eliminate this stipulation entirely, she did agree to make it just a 3 year rein. Then, after I’ve owned the property for 3 years, all proceeds would be mine if I were to sell. And she also seems to be warming to the idea of giving me a break on the purchase price to help reduce my up-front financial hardship of buying both her property and the mobile home. She agreed with the concerns that prompted this idea, but I don’t know just how much of a break she’s willing to give. :-) Stay tuned.

In the teens here with sunny blue skies again. Very bright reflection off of the snow.

Cleaning lady phoned. Said she had way too much running around to do yesterday afternoon. Surprising. She didn’t even call to let me know she wasn’t coming. Not like her. But anyway, she is coming today around 3:00 PM.

Cable guy just left. He took their boxes back.

Wish the cat well for me. :-)

Will try your phone number Sunday evening.

Later.

Tom
