Tax Day

I hope everyone is enjoying their April 15th.

I talked to my Mom last night, and told her I'd mail some packages to her today. Then I remembered the date, and called her back. There's no way I'm going anywhere near a Post Office today. Except perhaps with a camera to record the annual day of carnage.

Having done my taxes early this year, I've noticed feeling a great sense of relief at not having to struggle with a deadline.

For those of you so inclined, those who are as un-thrilled as I of having to hand over large percentages of income to the most wasteful money-handling institution on the planet, I recommend "celebrating" Tax Day by also making it Buy a Gun Day. It's empowering.

IF, yes, IF, there is an $$ left in the checking account after I made my trek to the post office, I would honor you "Buy a Gun Day' idea - I don't think mom would go for it, and perhaps Patty and Melissa as well.

Obviously, you were 'fortunate' to get a refund otherwise we would have been in good company at the post office on Tuesday. (Although, having been on the other side of things, I'd rather pay than not.)

I patiently await my rebate courtesy of Uncle George!
