Tax Time

I just dropped my tax information off at the accountant's office. Let's hope things go much better than last year. Let me tell you folks, the joys of semi-self-employment are brutally countered by the cruelty of bank-account-draining-self-employment-taxes.

Mini-Reunions

It's so strange how you won't see people from high school for years and then all of sudden you're talking to someone "from back in the day" every time you turn around. I've talked to three people in like a month's time from high school. People that I've not talked to since high school. It's weird. And cool. It's interesting and surprising to find out what people are doing. I mean, you have these expectations for what you will do and what other people will do and I think that in high school you base those expectations on what "clique" or "group" someone is perceived as belonging to....but then life happens. The playing field is leveled and reality sets in. You find out it really doesn't matter who was on the football team or who went to college, etc. Life is much more than that, and in some ways much less I suppose. Anyway, I'm grateful for the 3 "mini-reunions" over the past month.
