Books and other stuff I feel like discussing
By education and experience - Accountant with a specialty in taxation. Formerly a CPA (license has lapsed). Masters degree in law of taxation from University of Denver. Now retired. Part time work during baseball season as receptionist & switchboard operator for the Colorado Rockies. This gig feeds my soul in ways I have trouble articulating. One daughter, and four grandchildren. I share the house with two cats; a big goof of a cat called Grinch (named as a joke for his easy going "whatever" disposition); and Lady, a shelter adoptee with a regal bearing and sweet little soprano voice. I would be very bereft if it ever becomes necessary to keep house without a cat.

Best books list - updated
Back on November 28, I commented that I would be expanding my "best of" list which I have kept for the past 8 years. I have been able up to now to keep the list at 5 books, but this year I am not able to choose one to dislodge. So now I have the "6 best books" list, based on my reading since early in 1999:
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime - Mark Haddon
A Tale of Love and Darkness - Amos Oz
Plainsong - Kent Haruf
Breaking Clean - Judy Blunt
The Namesake - Jhumpa Lahiri
The Lost, a Search for Six of Six Million by Daniel Mendelsohn.
