I’ve made some huge strides today. I consolidated my stocks into one account and I rolled over my 401K from my old company. I even stopped the automatic deposit that was set up back 10 years ago. The automatic deposit dumped into two mutual funds neither of which ever took off. [...]

Yesterday I searched IMDB to find the correct spelling of Jill Clayburgh’s name. Okay, not just the spelling; I needed to refresh my memory of her complete name. I went about it in such a backward manner. I typed Charles Bronson, found his wife Jill Ireland, clicked on her and found the [...]
