    Obama Backs Rule Change to Modify Mortgages

    <em>less than 2% are in the BK category</em> But it sure *sounds* good, doesn't it. Factual, but mostly useless. In other words, great soundbite.

    The death of a friend

    It's interesting you say that Oscar....b/c just this evening (well, morning now) I did something that I've wanted to do for a long time, but didn't have the guts. I do believe it was part of an "urge" because of Jacqui's passing....a bucket list item, if you will.

    CA tax return

    I'm getting a tad over 3K back Federal and 300.00 back (uh, IOU'd) state. I claim zero. I have no idea what I should change my withholding to in order to get to a "near zero" return. A friend of mine claims 8 and is just about at break even...but I think that sounds too high for me. Any ideas ?
