I see that my last post was in 2019. So, why start posting again? There are several reasons.

1. I’ve actually been writing quite a bit – just not posting since most of my writings have been about personal matters.
2. I now write in collaboration with AI, mostly ChatGPT. By the time I have had AI add, rewrite, and let me be the content guide and editor, is it Lewis or AI? Like I said, it is a collaboration in the truest since of the word.
3. I’m heavily influenced by a Bible Study I am in as well as the ages and stages of life. Our oldest granddaughter, Lindsey, has now graduated from college, is teaching 4-year-old autistic children and living in her own apartment in downtown McKinney. Lily is a junior architectural student at Texas Tech. Anderson just left last Friday for Texas Tech as a freshman. He is planning to study business and computers. Kenneth & DeAnne are downsizing their home and plan to live in the historic district in Downtown McKinney. Linda & I are both 78, in so-so health, and are celebrating our 57th anniversary today. God is good, and all is well. Just happy to be alive!
4. After years of being politically neutral as much as possible, with conservative leanings, I am full bore conservative/anti-woke and a Trump supporter now. My disdain for liberalism is greater than my support of conservativism.
5. I still write about governmental finance topics even though my preferred subject stream is wherever my mind and heart are at any given moment. I still work close to 40 hours a week with my expertise being narrowed to Sales Tax Analyses as well as Multi-Year Financial Planning (MYFP). I love every minute of my consulting and will probably continue as long as I can use the keyboard.
   
   What this means is that if you are not interested in the type of topics I mostly write about these days, then I think there is a way you can unsubscribe on your own.
   
   If you think I have anything interesting to say, please forward to any of your friends, colleagues and family.
   
   Thank you!
