Dawgs supposedly in talks with FSU.  I'd prefer a program out of the SE myself.  Wisconsin would be good.

I saw somewhere that the percentage of folks itemizing would drop from 30% to 5%.  I was not far from not itemizing myself, which was a surprise.  I got a hit on the state and local property tax thing.

The business returns should be done by tomorrow, and then I can have the personal ones done.

SALT limits are going to hurt me, badly. We'll still itemize though.
SALT limits doesn't get me TOO badly any more. When I owned the house before the divorce, it helped. Not only was the mortgage interest deduction great considering CA real estate prices, but state and local taxes helped me at tax time because CA sucks for both. (Actually with prop 13, our state property tax rate is low, but it's still expensive AF given the house prices).
But now that I'm no longer a homeowner, the amount I get screwed by the SALT limit is nowhere near as large as the amount I would have gotten screwed last year. The good news is that after getting married, I'll manage to avoid the AMT (killed me last year). The bad news is that the SALT limit is 10K for single, and 10K for married, so my SALT exemption got cut in half.

Yeah, we no longer have the property tax to worry about now that we are renting, but the state income tax is going to be far above the limit. 



1 year, 7 months, 30 days. Buh bye, Illinois. But don't worry. I'll be sure turn the lights off when I cross the border as a resident, for the last time.

Kinda along those lines, my company was offering a nice package for early retirees, but our R&D VP made my group not eligible because he was afraid of losing his technical core.  My peers in management at the same level got the deal, but those of us on the technical side did not.  I was actually thinking about suing.  If I was more valuable, I should be compensated more, which was not the case.  

A buddy of mine suggested I bide my time and wait them out as they would fold eventually, and he was right.  About 5 months later they opened it up to us "techno" dudes as well.

I ended up with 5 more months of salary and benefits in effect, while actually DOING almost nothing except the TPS Report each week (which no one read).

I actually did send out a TPS Report each week.  I had three folks in India put it together for me and I attached a cover letter and sent it out to over 100 people.  I had named it "The Patent Summary Report" and routinely called it the TPS Report.  That was about the extent of my work in a week.

As much as I liked Chicago, the taxes were definitely annoying (I didn't mind the winter weather as much because the summer weather was nice compared to more humid places like.... DC, which has its own issues, even ignoring politics, including the cost of living, but the taxes aren't bad (income/sales/property alike). They're the two main cities I'd consider living in, particularly because they both have opportunities in my field (clean energy), especially with the new legislation Illinois appears likely to pass to go all in on renewables (or at least away from coal & gas even if nuclear remains supported), while DC already passed its own bill in December and obviously has a lot of national organizations and companies in this space.... Time will tell, though. I just hope to figure it out in the next year or so, so I can finally buy a place either way.

In case you all are wondering, my date I mentioned got postponed but should finally happen this week....

I can remember Herbie as a Jabber jock on local sports talk radio. He burned through a few co-hosts before settling on Ian Fitzsimmons, who is now a National guy.

So, when I retired, I had an aim to "get back into shape".  Good luck with that.  And of course initially I did next to nothing anyway.  In 2016, I went back to a baseball fantasy camp, something I did in 1992.  I had a blast, but clearly needed to be in better condition, so I started, and man it's tough.

These days I do something every day, if the weather permits I'm outside running, doing sprints, whatever, and then spend some time in the gym.  Today it was just gym time, and my muscle stuff is improving a lot.  Flexibility is tougher.  I have lost 20 pounds, I had really ballooned to almost 240.  Obviously that extra fat as enemy number one.  I hit 98.0 kg yesterday.

I went to the wife's pilates instructor last week and go a few ideas for flexibility.

My advice, if you're 40, and tired, is to MAKE TIME to do a little bit every day, and more when you can, even if it's a nightly set of pushups.

I'm both of those things... I'll try to get right on that.
Actually, I really need to. I've let my weight climb a lot, and haven't been hiking at all in at least a year. I don't know what my weight is exactly right now... Should probably buy a scale. I just know it's up. Figure I'm somewhere in the 270 vicinity. 
I did buy a bicycle finally, and some weights, and we're talking about going to the gym as well. 
But--and it's horrible to say this given that I'm in Southern California--the weather has just made it impossible to work out outside lately ;-)
