I was advised by Best Buy's Geek Squad to change my anti-virus software. My old one was Kaspersky which I have been reading some negative articles about. I'll give this new one a try and Best Buy threw in a free year if you agreed to set up a 2019 payment. Set-up was easy and quick.



Tax season is upon us, but Federal rules aren't available yet. Amazon always gives a decent price.

I don't like either team. I'm rooting for the food.



Barnes and Noble had a buy one get 50% off your second one DVD/Blu-Ray sale. I bought the extended editions of the first two Hobbit films. I don't have a working DVD, misplaced the cord while moving. And, the Smaug film only came in Blu-Ray. I figured that I would play it on my computer but found out that Windows 8 doesn't have the player, Windows 7 does. I saw that both could be streamed and that did the trick.



Flixster is my streaming service now. Set it up through my Roku stick. Good quality.



Filed my taxes today, a bit of a delay with the activation code. I was waiting for an internet chat and a phone call and both took forever. While waiting I tried Google and the answer was go to your acceptance E-Mail for the code. Looked, and there it was. The program had filled-in the code for the software not the filing fee code.

I was waiting for my gift card to purchase this program but I received an e-mail this morning: 50% off at Amazon.com. Sold ! Nothing ready as updates needed and the forms are not even out yet at IRS. This was a one day event, great price.



Ordered new pull-out sleeper couch and love seat and a dresser. Prices were good, didn't like delivery charge. Took the day off, can't believe they delivered it at 7:15 am. I took the day off, will continue that thought,four day weekend!

Pynchon is hard and I hear this one is approachable.



I liked Killing Lincoln and Killing Kennedy, so why not ?

Carmelo gets 62 last night and breathes life back into the Knicks. They can still make the playoffs.



HR Block Tax software. Usually have the returns almost done but this year I have to pay, and that's after having a lot deducted. Also, everything is pushed back this year because the IRS was closed during the sequestration.
