"Dog Days" and Birthday

Kay Bell's 39th Carnival of Taxes (monthly at this time of year) was posted Monday and is linked in the title. My post about the IRS fighting tax shelters from last week was included. Posters include personal finance specialists such as Free Money Finance, tax posters such as the Wandering Tax Pro and even a political blogger.

The biggest personal story this week was my 52nd birthday today--mathematical curiousity: 52 is half of eight times thirteen (today's date). Applause to my wife for her contributions to a relaxing and enjoyable day.
