The taxes are sorta almost done. Rob needs to get the software for the state taxes. (Why he doesn't have it already? Let's not go there.) I'm hoping the whole ugly sordid mess will be done within the week.
He finally loaded the shells of the accounts I need to start entering Quicken (but not the old data. Won't translate from Windows machine. Must start fresh with January 1st of this year). I started tonight, but quickly ran into trouble because Quicken on the Mac is new to me. Once I have it figured out, I have four months of account bookkeeping to catch up. Writing is just going to have to take a back seat until I have this caught up (advantage: catching up on the Quicken will simultaneously be cleaning up my office, because I'll finally get all these damn statements off the floor).
Don't know how long this will take, people, but it's going to take a while. I will try to at least think about the book during that interval. I have a hunch that when I get back to it, I might start with the scene set in the Walker Sculpture Garden, which may necessitate a site visit.
