SPRING TRAINING and MORE TAX ARTICLES

Spring is here and so is Cactus League Spring Training! I recently read in the Arizona Republic (2/24/08) that Arizona's Cactus League is becoming the new spring-training mecca. Currently there are 12 teams training here in Arizona, but next year, with the arrival of the LA Dodgers and the return of the Cleveland Indians (both moving into brand new facilities), the Cactus League, with 14 teams, will have just 2 less teams than the Florida Citrus League. According to the article, "Experts say consistent weather and the close proximity of the teams is giving Arizona's spring training league an edge over Florida's." So, tell your friends this is the place to visit if they want to experience great spring training baseball. Here is a link to Arizona Cactus League Spring Training for you to share with them. And, just in case they decide that they want to live the Arizona lifestyle for more than a few days in March, I have the perfect condo for them right here in Scottsdale!



More Tax Articles
OK, so I'm obsessed... I'm up to my eyeballs with tax stuff, as is evidenced by the piles of paper on my dining room table at this moment, so please forgive me for taking one last opportunity to share some interesting tax info with you. Of course, I'm not a tax expert (hardly!) and the information I include here is intended to present information that you may want to explore with your personal tax consultant. I hope you find the information to be informative and helpful.
