I know I’m not the only one out there who has yet to do my taxes. If I made more money and/or itemized a lot of deductions (I’ve tried that and didn’t reach the threshold), I’d probably be more stressed out right now, but I know my simple online filing typically takes no more than an hour, and I have other things to deal with.

I can’t say I enjoy paying taxes, but I appreciate the roads and highways, bridges, parks, libraries, etc. I appreciate those who teach the kids and work against crime and fires. My aim is to pay my fair share, and I wish the uber-rich felt that way.

The “Uber-Rich”? Like Donald What’s-His-Name who used to be President? Not only does he seem to think he is too good and too wealthy and too important to bother with paying taxes but he also seems to think serving in the military is beneath his indignity.

I try to get mine done early, sometime in February. Feel like I’m not free to start the year until that task is behind me.

I used to try to do them as soon as I got my W-2s, but I have other things that distract me now. I did finish them yesterday, though.

Marlow the Golden Retriever was too smart to eat any paper checks or paper at all. However, if I was eating a meat and cheese pizza, He was very glad to help me eat it. He would sit there and beg and try to look pitiful, starving, and pathetic as if he was wasting away to a small, furry shadow. If he was six years old at the time and he could talk, he would probably be trying to convince me that he hadn’t had anything to eat for seven years.
