Taxpayers who turn 73 years of age this year will learn all about an interesting IRS Regulation: Required Mandatory Distributions from your taxable Retirement Funds. Most of you 73ers have heard about the tax, but you might want to know some simple facts. These nuances were researched in IRS Publication 590B, not AI. See your tax […]
Alerts are constantly appearing, stating the same thing: Check anything created by AI. It can be wrong. And I have found AI to be wrong in 5 different responses. #1 — Taking the NMLS SAFE Test: AI SAID: “Before you can take the NMLS SAFE test, you must complete a 20-hour course.” NMLS SAYS: No, […]
A memorable day for me. The Japanese Empire announced that they were ready to begin the process of surrender. The 44-month war was over. Racine, WI was a town of about 90,000 at that time. It seemed to me that the entire town was massed around the downtown Memorial Square that hot August Night. There was dancing, singing, […]
In June, I went to see a longtime friend from Racine, WI, and Big Ten Tennis, Bob Duessler. He won the Over 90 National Doubles at Laguna Woods. After college, Bob moved to California and became one of the very top Age Bracket tournament winners in California and the US. In talking, the name John Powless came […]
This week, I’m taking a break from doing all the writing. Many of you already know my wife, DJ.

Every In-N-Out expert will have some wild secret items, but I wanted to list some of the more common ones and you might want to try some. A secret: Their opening time is listed at 10;30 but their employees are there at 10:00, and they will let you in, so I eat early some days and […]
The World Baseball Classic (WBC) is the biggest international baseball tournament in the world. Think of it as the “World Cup of baseball”, where the best professional players represent their home countries instead of their MLB teams. First played in 2006, and held about every four years, it features many MLB stars playing for their […]
It’s probably of interest to boomers who want to reminisce about the past. These three little cubicles look so lonely. Years ago, they held pay phones, and when a speaker at a seminar announced break time, we raced to get one—like an Easter egg hunt in elementary school. You carried quarters in varied containers. Then, […]
