In the weeks before Unchained in Phoenix. I stopped reading my feed reader. I was wall-to-wall with Unchained work and wall-to-wall with money work and something had to give. I’ve read this and that since then, but I’m over 16,000 posts behind in my reading. Oh, well…<\/p>\n

When I knew for sure that we would be getting iPhones this Summer, I switched from Vienna to NetNewsWire as my feed reader, this because the desktop and iPhone clients will sync to each other. Same subscriptions on both, but what I’ve read on the iPhone won’t show up on my Mac and vice versa.<\/p>\n

We normally go to Las Vegas at Independence Day for our wedding anniversary<\/a>, but this year we did not. We were busy with money work, which was most welcome, but we were also gun-shy about spending money.<\/p>\n

July rocked, August rocked, and we’re picking up buyers if not listings with alacrity. It’s time for Greg and Cathy to have some alone time. Even so, we’re still more than spooked about money, and we both have Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
