Yay Emmitt!

November 16, 2006

It was no surprise in our house that Emmitt Smith won "Dancing with the Stars."

He was a god on the football field. #22 was key to three of the Cowboys’ five championships that sustain the hubby and I as we wait for the Tuna to get his and the current team’s act together. Fittingly, Emmitt’s visage once again graces the ‘Boy’s Web page, along with a separate story on his latest accomplishment.

Plus, he just seems like such a nice guy. And there’s that smile! How can anyone resist that smile?

When I heard Emmitt was going to be on the program, as a lifelong Cowboys fan, my initial wish was that he finish higher than former ’49er Jerry Rice did last year. As the competition continued, I began to hope for a win. The hubby was confident the whole time; me, I’m a sports worrier, expecting disappointment and then reveling obnoxiously in victory.

Well, it’s definitely a roundly reveling kind of day today!

More Emmitt: You can watch highlights of Emmitt’s and dance partner Cheryl Burke’s performances here.

You can read here about how Emmitt’s dance floor moves captivated Dallas almost as much as his on-field moves did back in the day.

And be sure to check out this story and Jerry Jones’ comments at the end of the article. For once, something I can agree with Jerry about!

Tax Season 2026 Continues!

We made it. Tax Day 2025 is finally over. For most of us. When the filing season started on Jan. 26, millions who were expecting refunds filed immediately. Most of us got our returns to the Internal Revenue Service by April 15. But plenty of taxpayers also got extensions. They are looking at an Oct. 15 filing deadline.

Those procrastinating filers aren’t a problem. In fact, the IRS appreciates taxpayers who take time to fill out their 1040 forms correctly. It also is grateful that tax submissions are spread out a bit, especially now that the IRS is a leaner agency. Processing returns is easier when they arrive throughout the year instead of in massive bunches.

But enough about Uncle Sam’s tax collection issues. The focus now is on all y’all who filed for extensions, giving you another six months to complete your return. Since your new mid-October due date will be here before you know it, let’s get started now on meeting it.

The ol’ blog is here to help you finish up your extended Form 1040. You can start with January’s tax tips page, which has links to the rest of the year’s tips by-month collections. You also can peruse various tax categories for more tailored advice by clicking on the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of this (and every) page.

And to make sure you don’t miss your new filing deadline, the count-down clock below will let you know just how much time you to file by Oct. 15. At the latest.e. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
