You're definitely going camping but the inky thing in the shower?
Iām more of an āallās well that ends wellā kind of guy, and heās so entertaining, itās almost worth it.
I do think this is probably his last year, though. MrsTās reluctance is that, for a couple of years, he was also a client of hers, but heās stopped traveling and is onto other things.
Thatās one of the funny things about him - heās in his 70ās now, and heās a player - he loves the ladies, and every year or so, heās got some other kind of scheme going on to impress the women, and I always like seeing whatās next with him.
One year, it was gourmet cooking classes (āYou knowā¦a woman really loves a man who knows his way around the kitchenā¦ā), another year, he dabbled in stand-up comedy (āYou knowā¦a woman really loves a man who can make her laughā¦ā), ballroom dancing lessons (āYou know, a woman really loves a man who can move her around the dance floorā¦ā), etc.
This year, heās taking piano lessons (āYou knowā¦a woman really loves a man who can sing to herā¦ā). Heās a riot. The years he was ballroom dancing, he very poorly self-dyed his snow-white hair some weird, very unnatural rusty color, grew a pony tail and a Van Dyke, and was demonstrating his āmovesā in the office, which in addition to some swirls and dips, included a Michael Jacksonesque crotch grab.
Heās also super MAGA, and that means heās has a literal, actual shrine to Trump and Reagan in his office, complete with a little electric candle flickering between their facing 8x10 photos (āSee, President Reagan is advising and guiding President Trump. Theyāre talking!ā), and every year, thereās always something weirdly fascinating in his office that wasnāt there before - one year, it was a full punch bowl set, placed on the floor in front of his desk. This yearā¦a display of snowshoes (āI thought people might like to see those..ā).
I could go on and on. One year, I walked into his office, busiest time of the year for him, like a week before tax day, 4PM, and he was sprawled out behind his desk, sound asleep. Heās the kind of guy, if he were my neighbor, Iād be over there all the time, just to see what wacky crap he was getting up to that day.
The truth is, I do like him quite a bit as a person, because heās the kind of person I like - infinitely curious, open and free for the most part, and always for the next adventure, always in a good mood.
Iām waiting for him to take up skydiving next (āYou knowā¦a woman loves a man whoāll push her out of a perfectly good airplaneā¦ā).

That's enough for me to fire him right there. And Ronald Reagan must have been rolling over in his grave.Heās also super MAGA, and that means heās has a literal, actual shrine to Trump and Reagan in his office, complete with a little electric candle flickering between their facing 8x10 photos (āSee, President Reagan is advising and guiding President Trump.

At first I thought she made a typo and it was supposed to be icky, but how is a shower icky? How is it inky either, I dunno...I've missed something.

Nahā¦you want a MAGA guy doing your taxes, because heāll find every last loophole to keep you from paying one penny extra in taxes!

I guess he fits in with the "of unsound mind" category of other unhinged MAGA people.Nahā¦you want a MAGA guy doing your taxes, because heāll find every last loophole to keep you from paying one penny extra in taxes!
Itās weirdā¦heās very MAGA, but heās not a jerk about it. The woman who runs his office for him (itās just the two of them), sheās very, very liberal, and theyāre usually play-arguing by the time we leave (and sometimes as soon as we walk in the door
), and itās funny to watch, because sheās much more in-yer-face with her views than he is with his, but I love them both, because theyāre so much alike, just at different ends. Sheās full of piercings and tattoos and all that. They make quite a pair. Sometimes, I stop in outside of tax time, just to say hello, when Iām in that area. Oh yeah, he ran for mayor one year, too!

Cutting and painting 3 sides of the 2x4s, 2 coats, is done. I'll do the other side tomorrow. Humidity is very low for us right now so the paint dried fast.

Went to the Parade of Homes with my sisters. We saw some beautiful homes. They all had large outdoor living space with kitchens and a fireplace. Several had a butler's pantry, which I love. Large gas ranges 36" - 48", pot fillers, large islands and beautiful primary suites. The jaw dropper was 6,566 S.F. living area. With Pool house, garages and R.V. garage 9,314" under roof. The house was stunning! The attention to detail was beyond anything I have ever seen. Every room had an amazing, unique light fixture. If I had 3.5 million, I would have written a check right then and there. Probably more because I would want all of the furnishings, drapery and accent pieces. Anyway, I do not have 3.5 million dollars and the house was sold.
Oh well, one can dream. I told George to buy a Powerball and mega million ticket.

Nope I really don'tCome on... accountant's not too sharp, Caleb Blunt, geddit??
As it's you I'm suspecting one of two things, this is some sort or sportsman or person of note I've never heard of or alternatively (and this happens often) the holes in my crappy state schooling mean as soon as I mention this to Mr SSOAP he'll laugh and explain exactly why it's funny.
He's getting us tea. I'll ask him when he returns
I think itās a made-up name on karadekoolaid ās part, just some wordplay on āsharpā (ābluntā being the opposite).
Why do I suspect that? Because when I first read it, I googled it and found no one famous by that name!
