Sunday Morning Goodness – 15 April 2007
I know it is tax deadline day. But it's Sunday so they probably are giving you until tomorrow to file since the mail isn't running today. (Don't hold me to that, though.

Saying No to a Good Thing
It was a tremendous opportunity. The first pass over the numbers was exciting. In theory we'd be increasing our net worth considerably, lots more equity the moment we signed the papers.
