Kudos to Penelope Trunk - and not just because the name Penelope is so cute and underused now-a-days- but also because she wrote a truly excellent article about tax deductions. Though I have never met Penelope, I feel that she and I are "tax sisters"... we think a like! Please read her attempt to stretch her tax deduction potential with various CPAs... if tax deductions could ever be funny, this article would be it...

PS - Obviously the IRS is against "personal enjoyment" of anything or at least we cannot get deductions from things that we get enjoyment from... is this a plot to make sure we are miserable? Something to ponder...
