Laboring in the obscurity he so richly deserves for over a decade now, your crusty correspondent sporadically offers his views on family, law, politics and money. Nothing herein should be taken too seriously: If you look closely, you can almost see the twinkle in Curmudgeon's eye. Or is that a cataract?

Status Report -- or -- An observation about money
Money: You can't take it with you -- but you can't stay here without it!
----------------------------------------------------------------
So the good news is that I went to the doctor this morning -- and he told me I can go back to work.
Fortunately (at least fortunately for my many creditors), I've already been back at work for a couple of weeks so far. I've gotten some bills out -- and I've even done some new work, a little of which is actually billable. Late Thursday, after I whined a bit, a client even paid about 40% of his outstanding fee balance.
This morning I felt brave enough to tote up the current and overdue bills sitting in my drawer here at the Undisclosed Location. These are the bills that must be paid before I can take home any money that might be left over. And I was pleased to discover that the amounts due on these bills is only about $1,000 more than the amount received from the client.
No, really: I'm not being sarcastic. That's progress.
So I'm going to get some work done today while I'm focused -- and we can talk later about my son the Easter Bunny, how I almost got outed this weekend by my computer-savvy Oldest Son, and how I got served with a Rule to Show Cause for filing a motion on old-fashioned paper....

Congrats on getting clearance to return to work; just remember to not overdo it in your enthusiasm to pay off your bills. Sadly, there will always be someone else standing there with his/her hand out no matter how many bills you have paid off!
Looking forward to the rest of the story!
