Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Of course I've never been there....

Does anyone know anything about New York State non-profit and tax stuff? We have a class at a university, and we purchase books for the students. The students get them for free, as they are non-matriculated students and are paying a per credit hour tuition. We do not pay sales tax when we pay for the book. Our accountant says that we cannot buy them because the students would pay tax if they are buying them.

You buy them and give them to the students? I don't see where there would be an issue, but I am not an accountant!

Yes- we don't sell them, just give them. I am trying to think of an example that is not textbooks to share with the accountant, but I am coming up with nothing.

I don't know if there's a difference between books and like supplies, but I imagine the U. provides supplies for classes. Although I guess there's a separate fee for that, on top of tuition, usually?

In short: I have no idea, but feel like I ought to!

Steve and I had dinner at Casa Romero Monday night. Have either of you been?

It's been years, but I've been there a few times. I remember really liking the food. It's a great place to go during nice weather because they have a great patio.

Also, we had drinks at the Eliot Hotel and they have a sashimi bar there that looked wonderful (but we only had drinks).

That would be the sushi bar at Clio, right (I think the sushi bar actually has its own name, but it's in the same room)? It's supposed to be excellent, but wicked expensive (same as Clio, actually).
