I am here. I am continuing to be on better terms with my daughter. Now that her mother has a boyfriend, she has been basically ignoring me. I can understand this. This is probably due to an insecure boyfriend. I have to watch my money very closely. I owe the state $2,000 in back taxes. They claim I made a $39,000 profit in the stock market one year. I do not think it was that much, and not on the year they claim it to be. Anyway, I do not know how this happened. This is not showing up on my record with the IRS. They claimed an audit was done. The IRS told me this that this is not the case. I have been timid to call the State Revenue office and work something out with them.

Yesterday I had an interview with Farmers insurance. I was told it is for a customer service type of position. It turns out to be for an insurance salesman. Fortunately all I have to do is answer their customer’s questions and find them the best deal that I am allowed to give them. When hired, I have to get two licenses before I can start to work for them. It looks like I am still in the running for they want me to write an one page essay on why I would be a good insurance salesman. I have to get it to them by 7:30 AM on this coming Monday. Right now I have writer’s block.

Update: I forgot to say that I am using my new sous vide cooker to cook pork loin spareribs. They are boneless spareribs. First time I have seen good marbling on pork. I am cookng it for four hours. Actually, eight hours or more would be better, but I cannot wait that long.
