This is reminding me of when a hoodlum from my high school was the funeral director at my grandfather' funeral!

Tonight, instead of figuring out how much of a seder to provide for myself, I will be working my last inventory. This is somehow both very wrong and oddly appropriate (I think the wrongness adds to the appropriateness, as well). Maybe I'll have a glass of wine with Elijah when I get home.

Before we got married, my taxes were $300, mine have been complicated for years, I usually have between 10 and 40 1099s to deal with, as well as income that isn't included on 1099 forms. I'm hug my accountant and hold him close because he charges a reasonable rate and does great work.

I had a hard time googling my high school friends, but I figured a name like Joyti Schahhou would have a decent shot and being the Joyti I knew. When I saw she was in prison for scamming hundreds of thousands of pounds, I did doublecheck to see if there were more than one.

Well, if there is, the same rowdy student who never believed I was a virgin went in on a scam with her husband and mother to bilk the guy she worked as an admin assistant for. Our high school got rid of undesirables who wanted to be admin assistants before A level, but I'm sure knowing that she aimed so high will endear her to everyone affiliated with our alma mater.

But, seriously, who has consecutive aitches in their name? Only people up to no good, that's who!

Ooh! I know a guy whose name is Kirchhan. So, there's two out there.

but I think the people I know most likely to be arrested still can't cross the river into Actual Boston.

Vampires?

For a small metro area, you would be shocked how much psychological distance there is between the two sides of the river.

If I take surface streets, it takes me about 25 minutes and it's 12 miles. If I take the freeway and there is no traffic, it's 17 miles and about 20 minutes. There's a mountain between me and my school, which is at times irritating, but at other times gratifying in keeping some distance in place.

Before we moved, I was 1.25 miles away which took about 15 minutes to walk or 3 to drive. I much prefer my longer commute.

I am already sad that it's coming to a close.

Well, there are other long-running series on audiobook, as well...

Grace was an absolute brat tonight -- crying for the last 45 minutes of being awake -- from shower, to dressing for bed, all the way through eating dinner, when she fell off her chair and something real to cry about. K got her into bed and she zonked.

Meanwhile, Noah got to stay up later than his sister. He helped me make cupcakes for their birthday party this weekend. He then ate his vitamins, brushed his teeth and took himself off to bed without being told. I didn't even realize he was in bed because it was just so quiet.

I think the twins know that when one is being super pilly the other must chill.

OMG, they made a TV movie of Joyti's crime. That is the most ridiculous. I wonder if there were flashbacks to her high school...nah.
