It's Passover

That means light blogging because I am busy reclining while I eat no yeast (except all the leavened stuff I will eat).

A Note From TFT

I am on a little vacation in L.A.

I am posting, but not very much.  I will be back to a regular schedule Monday, whatever my regular schedule is.

Enjoy the break.  Kiss your family.

Here is a Sherffius cartoon for you...

I Would Like To Cash This Check

I have a check sitting in my wallet. It is from the PTA, a reimbursement for a field trip totaling about $160. I simply had not gotten around to depositing it.

Since I am leaving for Oregon in the morning, and I was going right past the bank from which the check was drawn today, I decided to go in and cash it, knowing that I didn't have an account at Bank of America, but the check originated from that very BofA branch, so I could just cash it there! Cool!

I went into the nearly empty bank, walked up to a teller, handed her the check, and said "I would like to cash this check."

She told me to "swipe" my BofA card, and I said I don't have an account, but the check is from here.

She told me to sign the roster on the round table and a banker would verify the signature.

Twenty minutes later, after a conversation with a wonderful guy who was also waiting for something, the signature was verified and I was told to go back to a teller to get the check cashed.

Almost there...

The teller took the check and started entering keystrokes into her computer. Seven million keystrokes later she said, "There is a $5 service charge for cashing a check."

I took the check from her hand and walked out.

Now the check is back in my wallet, I guess where it belongs.

Oregon, mom, here we come. Blogging will be light, if at all, for the next week or so....

TFT Is On Vacation!!

The Frustrated Son and I are visiting the Frustrated Grandmother this week. Blogging will be light, if at all. Now would be a good time to check out all the links in my sidebar, or peruse the archive. Or maybe go outside and play!

I'm Back!

But after a 10 hour drive, I am not ready to blog in earnest. Must shower, then sleep, then find out what happened while I was in the woods.

Gone Camping

Yes, the boy and I are off for our annual camping trip. I doubt if there will be many posts between August 1 and August 10. Don't worry though, I will be back (and maybe The Frustrated Lawyer will chime in).

Have a great couple weeks!
