It's the old in and out (of Hong Kong) game, again.....

I came to town on Sunday afternoon and now it is Tuesday night.  I didn't really have much on the agenda this week but procrastinated sufficiently that I didn't think I'd finish the little that had to be done.  Surprise of surprises - I finished.

With one exception - I have to call the IRS, tonight, because I cannot access my practitioner's number renewal program and need alternative means of getting the task done.  This is one, I am afraid, of many misdeeds perpetrated by the IRS computer system that I have been personally involved with, recently.  I fear that the system is irreparably broke;  broke beyond repair.  It cannot get fixed and will only get worse.  What a nightmare!!!

But there is good to go with the inconvenience of having to stay up later than I do to make the call:  I get to go to and listen to some jazz, live!!

This afternoon I listened to a speaker at the FCC who talked about the financial woes of the cities.  She had no idea of what a comprehensive property tax was or what the long term future of taxation in China will be based upon.....I think I am going to be well prepared for my speech on Saturday - I know the subject matter well.  Now I have to polish off how I say it.....
