Cattlemen

Last night we went to the Cattlemen's fund-raising dinner, courtesy of a friend of a friend who had an extra ticket.

Large amounts of cattle parts were consumed. I don't know what cut of meat it was but it was delicious: tender but slightly chewy with long-lasting flavor. Some of the larger cattlemen and women were served entire steaks which looked like they might be sirloin.

The strawberry shortcake was okay but made me anticipate "real" strawberry shortcake made from local berries, probably available in a month or six weeks. With sweet biscuits and freshly whipped cream.

Testing: hmm can't post from iPhone...

The Evidence

Filing month, before and after. So far.

In truth, the desk has reverted to the before status.

However, I know that progress has been made in getting papers into their proper places, including the shredder.

Earlier I made a typo that would have called this "Filling Month." That is what we're trying to avoid.



I apologize that the two photos aren't lined up. There is much to learn.

Saturday morning

Filing Month is slowly passing, with no more filing done since that I accomplished earlier this month.

The point of Filing Month is to get the desk cleared so I can find and pay bills, shred unnecessary papers (in those satisfying Shredding Moments), and create an ongoing maintenance plan for paperwork.

And then of course there is a year's worth of transactions or more to enter into Quicken so I can prepare this year's taxes. Not to mention last year's taxes, for which I did most of the work and then procrastinated until all the work vanished and needs to be done again.

But now that I know how easy it actually is to get onto Blogger, I can update more often. I am intending to migrate away from the confusing and semi-useless Facebook and direct people who want to know about me here.

It is easier to type on the real computer than the phone, no question. Perhaps I can move towards using my phone simply as a phone.
