"Are We There Yet?" Knowing When You've
Arrived...
You pack up the car. It took a
recollection of high school physics
to figure out how to get all that stuff in
there. Sure you can’t
see your youngest child amidst the cooler, beach
chairs and
inflatable raft (you don’t ask why it is
inflated – bad marital
move at this point) but you know he is back
there, somewhere.
Any doubts you’ve had about his presence are
quickly alleviated
when you are about five miles down Route 3 on
your way
down the Cape when ceremoniously, sort of like
the throwing
of the first pitch, the query emerges from the
back: “Are we
there yet?” And so it goes for the balance of
the trip. You cannot
blame children. They live in the here and now,
and if nothing
is happening now, they want to know exactly how
long it
will be until something begins to happen.

The
Rodman Report
May 2008
Another tax season is behind the Team here
at Rodman & Rodman and with that comes Spring
and the promise of better weather and a return
to somewhat less hectic days. It also marks the
return of The Rodman Report. In this month's
issue we cover a lot of ground and have great
news to share. First, the firm is very pleased
to announce that Kathy Parker has been named a
Partner at Rodman & Rodman. See the announcement
below for the exciting details. Next, Larry
Rice, our Director of Strategic Consulting, is
looking for new members to join our Business
Getting Results monthly meeting group - a great
opportunity for those looking for help in
growing their business. From there we discuss
the tax deductibility of job search expenses. If
you are currently looking for new employment, or
expect to be in the near future, this is a must
read. Gift cards have exploded on the scene in
the last decade. Though they represent a
business opportunity for those who sell them, an
understanding of the accounting and tax
challenges they also bring is necessary. See
below for a discussion of these challenges. Our
last article provides some warning signs for
symptoms of stroke. Though we do not usually
cover this type of information in the Rodman
Report, we thought this useful advice spread to
our wide audience of readers may just help
someone. We hope you never need this advice, but
we provide it as a public service nonetheless.
