Well, we're both very busy right now.

Ms Moe [[Superstar) has earned so much in the last year, her accountants have insisted she move immediately into a new and bigger mansion, simply to reduce her tax liability. Ms Moe has earned millions this year, but her tax has been reduced to only $5 - the IRS are really big fans - although every cent saved was a hard fight. She's bought a new place, and is in the process of arranging to have it completely repainted in her favourite colours, where she can sit and count her money.

And I'm kept fully occupied, managing Ms Moe's stellar career...and writing updates for this thread every day.

See ya!
