Buy beef roast, cheap, you’re going to cook it to death anyway.

Contrary to a lot of other boomers, Nancy and I are blowing it.
We’re spending money.
Remember the bumper sticker on the back of the oversized motor home… We’re Spending Our Kids Inheritance… There never was an inheritance for our kids. So my bumper sticker would have read, We Spent All We Have.
A few years ago, I thought maybe, if I caught a good break, there could possibly be enough in our piggy bank to retire on when I was Going Like Seventy. Yeah, we caught the same break all baby boomers did.
Poof! El-vapo-rato.
Our solution is simple, and you should follow our lead. Spend money. Frivolously. Buy stuff you don’t need, but want. Nancy will start drawing Social Security this summer.
We’ll blow it.
We just bought a 50 inch TeeVee, hopefully the Smart car will be arriving soon, and we’re going to Boston in June.

You can thank me when you get home.
Or we may just move to Costa Rica. I wonder how long it would take to drive there? Can you get there without driving through Mexico? Mexico scares me anymore.
I think I feel another international vacation coming on.
If March isn’t Mathematician’s Month, then it should be. Especially this year.
- Today is Square Root Day. 3/3/09 (3 is the square root of nine.) Square Root Day only happens nine times a century.
- March 14 is Pi Day. 3/14. However, since only techno-geeks write the date like this 3.14, Pi. 3/14 is actually .2142857. 3 divided by 14. I think Pi Day should really be 2/14/2857. Now that would be a party. BTW: Pi approximation day is July 22, again stretching credibility. 22/7 is approximately Pi.
Basically these are Sloppy Rebel Mathematician Holidays. Close enough to party, but not accurate enough to get you published.
I meant to put this with the Number 5 post, but forgot. Please watch the video through to the end. I think you will laugh out loud as I did! Poor Bizkit has a terrible sleep-running habit, this isn’t the only video of Bizket, but it is the best.
I used to like the neighbor lady. Until yesterday afternoon – a cold, rainy, crappy day. She called Nancy and asked if we got another dog, because if we did, it was loose and standing at her back door whining.
Nancy wanted to go help out. I insisted that the dog would be fine and it would find it’s way home.
But when I saw this face, we had to help.
We do NOT have dog #5. The no-kill shelter will open soon and her overnight stay will end.
But what a lover!
UPDATE: Number 5 has a new home. Clay, 5, and Will, 4, have decided she should live with them on their farm. They named her Rodeo!
