More Examples Of Goat Dancing
At least one person in our forum had real goat dancing type problems on Friday the 13th. On the other hand, I had a great day. I secured nine months of base income and had a good session with my tax person. It wasn’t until Saturday that my goat dance begun.
- First, I couldn’t get my Quicken to open - well, that’s not true; it simply couldn’t find any files. It insisted I was a new user. I tried restoring from backups, both on my computer and on my cd/dvd drive thingie and it insisted it couldn’t see the disk. I could see the files on the cd, but they wouldn’t open either. I decided not to panic and sure enough, this morning everything works like a charm… go figure.
- Next, I went to a meeting and was annoyed because I couldn’t part exactly where I wanted. For reasons totally obscure to me I left the meeting early, and after standing in the rain waiting to cross the street, discovered my right rear tire was going flat – one of four brand-new, driven-on-less-than-3-week-old tires! If I’d gotten to park where I wanted I never would have spotted the problem. I was, however, able to drive to the tire store and it only took about an hour(!) for them to give me a brand new tire for free.
Not being one to push the river, when I got home turned off the computer and spent the rainy afternoon reading New Yorker magazine.

My darling Anne, you wouldn’t happen to be talking about me, now would you? ;) Ha! I didn’t post any this weekend because of it.
I’m sorry about your Quicken and tire troubles, but the bright side is that you got a new tire for free - free is always good.
And your Saturday afternoon sounds splendid!

Saturday was delightful and my Quicken has decided to work again… I may have tricked it by backing up twice ;)
