Announcements about Taxgirl — site changes, redesigns, downtime, newsletter updates, and anything else happening behind the scenes.
There are very few things that my brothers and I agree on. My older brother is a Tarheels fan, my little brother is a Wolfpack fan and I’m a Blue Devils fan – just imagine ACC basketball season around my house when I was a kid. Both of my brothers (gulp) have, at one time…
So the treat part of my weekend was Halloween day… Since it was over the weekend, I had plenty of time to prepare. Lots of baking, scores of decorations and I had a sparkly Cleopatra costume to boot. The trick part was my laptop making what I can only assume are its last few gasps…
