We’d all like it. It sometimes even seems it is there. But, even then, we may be simply restating the obvious with our play. You make a good read and it looks like one. Then you blow it and look like Fido’s backside using the same solution process. (more…)

give you a plan For a Few Dollars More that can get you beyond The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, With apologies to Sergio and Clint, I am referencing our classic bit of spaghetti free madness – the UIGEA
