In case you had any doubts that we are getting overtaxed!!
This morning, I woke up early to start doing the taxes. Duly downloaded Turbo Tax which I have been using for over 15 years to prepare my taxes. It is undoubtedly one of the most user friendly software I have ever seen. In any case, Turbo Tax imported all the necessary information from last year’s file so that I do not have to re-enter all the mundane details like name, social, dependents etc.
And then, it came up with this screen! I owe $9 of taxes!!
You can imagine how flummoxed I was – “Wait a minute – I have not entered anything about 2015 yet!!! And you yourself prepared last year’s taxes. How can I start with a tax liability already?”
As you can imagine, things only got worse from there!! π

From the bartender’s corner – Flatiron Martini
7 miles trail run in light drizzle
“Runner” cholechhey..
This morning I got into the car and a casual glance at the passenger seat revealed that I had not mailed an envelope since Monday. So, changed my running route plans and put in a run to the post office from Starbucks – about two and a half miles each way…
… thereby earning the moniker “Runner” in two different languages simultaneously π
This was probably the only run where I was hoping against hopes that it would NOT rain!!!
