Going Around in Circles
I saw a bumper sticker that read “I’m Taking the Long Way – Siri gave me directions”. How true. Despite my continuing conspiracy theory about how Siri is trying to kill us, I had time to ponder this on my way to the desert to see Mom. Little did I know that I’d be gaining…

This is for the Retirement Management Idea. I provide 2 numerical examples – one using Savings (i.e., not IRA money) and one using IRA money. These calculate the Financial Ratios, Minimum Asset and Rates, and project to the future.

LarryLand Cheese-Crusted Chicken
I had some spare chicken. And I had some Cheddar Cheese. So I said to myself – it is time to “Get the Frico Outta Here!” With a non-stick pan and about 10 minutes, this is what I came up with.
