Lunch Here and There

On Tuesday I went to the Chamber of Commerce networking luncheon again. This time, for my 60 second spiel I played a 30 radio spot about Singing Valentines using my ipod and speaker attached to it. This gave them a feel for the music and the product. It's a nice venue to meet business people in the community and learn what people to for a living. It's nice to hear when one of them has used a product or service of another and they give a testimonial about it. Everyone is upbeat and interested in getting to know each other. Fun! and Useful.

Yesterday I went to the Rotary luncheon at Treesdale. It was a "club assembly" and so we talked about what the club is doing to help other groups or people. Several Rotarians are planning on going on a mission trip to Hondorus this summer with medical supplies and to work at a clinic there for a week. That should be interesting. They've gathered over $2,000 in vitamins and other medicines to take with them.

During the afternoon I put the finishing touches on gathering the info for the tax guy. We go to see him today. This is by far the earliest we've ever had our taxes info ready to give to the preparer. Before I guy in our church helped us. Now, I'm using someone recommended by a retired clergy friend because clergy taxes have some idiosyncrasies that others don't have. It'll be interesting to see how it all comes out. Things are different now with pension income and social security in place of a salary.

In the evening we just watched some of our favorite television shows and Dee worked some on the puzzle Kerri gave us. (all pieces have the same general shape - hummm.
