April 15 and No Taxes Due!
Today is April 15. Normally that signals a rant about the atrocious state of our tax code from this corner of the internet. Typically I tell you how the aforementioned code perpetually erodes my sanity and chips away at my soul. How it causes me to question why I continue with my business. How it stokes my desire to live the life of a hermit deep in the woods, where trees get to be trees instead of paper spewed from the mouth of a three-headed bureaucratic monster. When you own a small business it’s always tax season, yet April 15 still holds special significance. But you know what? While today is April 15, it’s also Sunday. Not a single NP-5, LS-1, 1040-ES, PA40-ESR, W-2, K-1, W-3, 1099, 1096, 1065, RCT-101, PA-65, UC-2A, UC-2, ET-1, WTE-3,...
CORO No More
With our CORO fellows departed, I’m afraid you blog readers are stuck with me. While they’ve been busy writing I had the opportunity to visit the Tim Burton exhibit at MOMA in NYC. If you’re passing through the area, it’s worth the trip. While viewing Burton’s art I had the realization that my name is Tim and I have a jacket made by the winter apparel company Burton. Therefore, it’s almost as if I have an exhibit at MOMA. Never fear, this brush with celebrity will NOT go to my head. So, recently all of us at Franktuary have had the opportunity to see a film called FRESH. It’s really something every one of you should watch. It’s amazing what happens when things in nature eat what they’re designed...
Saluting the Big Apple on a Somber Day
I was just rereading some of the earlier posts from this blog. There are some good stories buried in those pages. Ah, memories. Here’s another good story, never to have appeared in this space before. It’s a story of hope, triumph, and the power of community, but, no, it isn’t sappy. It was the summer of 1994. The New York Rangers were the Stanley Cup Champions and I was a middle school student in suburban New Jersey. My older sister, 18 at the time, took me into New York City to see the Cup first-hand. After getting lost on the subway, we made it to our destination. Being the hockey-geek that I am I spent the entire day on inline skates. I should add that these skates were of the bargain basement variety. They were the kind of skates...
Game 7 Is Upon Us
You know what? Should the Penguins win tomorrow night Franktuary will still be closed on Saturday. That means no Stanley Cup celebration at Franktuary (at least until Monday)! Sooooo, we celebrate Game 7 instead. Tomorrow only, customers wearing Penguins apparel will receive a free Detroit frank with the purchase of a Pittsburgh. It’s time to eat Detroit for lunch!
Do It, Pittsburgh!
It’s now or never for those Flying Penguinis. Seriously, I have a set of juggling balls dubbed as “Flying Penguinis.” Maybe that’s the problem, most penguins spend more time swimming than flying while those boys from Detroit have wings, literally. There is such a thing as underwater ice hockey, you know. That’s something at which penguins should excel. If they lose tonight, maybe Crosby and co should have a crack at it. If they win, check back soon for a special Game 7 offer from...
