DEATH AND TAXES

I finished my taxes last night. That's an annual ritual I could do without. I use H&R Block's online service. I've been using it for the last couple of years. As much as I hate doing taxes, Block's site makes it a little more convenient. And this year, thanks to MilitaryOneSource.com, it was free.

I spent a good portion of today at a funeral. My wife's cousin's husband passed away last week; he had a heart attack. He was only 45, another reminder that we're all on borrowed time.

As if today wasn't hard enough already, we got hit with a snowstorm that started last night and continued through this afternoon. The weather geeks are speculating that we might get another one tomorrow. I'm hoping they're wrong, this week's been tough enough already.
