Wednesday

This has been another one of those "Due Date" days that makes the life of a tax CPA a little more interesting than say, an actuary.  All extended 2009 calendar year business, partnership and trust returns have their Come to Jesus moment today.  Hallelujah!!  (Of course, there's a repeat performance next month for the 2009 individual returns, but that's weeks away!)

I've been looking for an entry from 3 to detail any news that might be of note out in The Big Apple. 

The coffee group had a brief discussion the other morning about, for lack of a better term, "greeters" on the bike path or side walk.  As in the Seinfeld-esque question, "Are you a greeter, or not a greeter?"  Personally, I'm a greeter (although not always, especially if someone works real hard to avoid eye-contact). If you spend a lot of time on the well-travelled by-ways, you get a sense of the greeter/non-greeter characters.

Here are my assessments of the greeting status of various demographics from the LT's perspective.  (I think that response varies depending on age, sex, appearance and various other factors of both the greeter and the greetee.)

1.  Retirees; Generally pleasant greeters.  Especially if walking their dogs.
2.  GenX and Yuppie male runners with headphones; not-so-much.
3.  GenX and Yuppie female runners with headphones; less than their male counter-parts.
4.  Indian/Pakistani couples; not-so-much.
5.  Alpha male bikers; lower quartile.
6.  Solo female walkers age 30+; smiley nod, if spoken to.
7.  Teens; rarely out there.
8.  Tweens: I generally try to avoid them.
9.  bcbison; will greet a scarecrow in the dark.
10.Everybody else; will nod or wave if absolutely forced to.

The Home Page decor has been changed to a more traditional presentation.  I thought that 3 and 4 deserved a little love from the Tigerhawk after last weekend's success.  The question is, can they perform at night in the desert?

Have a great evenng.
