Better days

Wow — I’ve definitely had better evenings. Spent tonight doing my US taxes and listening to the Canucks get slaughtered like so many cattle in Calgary: losing 4-0 and tying the series at 2-2. And I owe money!
Okay, I take that back; the evening wasn’t all bad — started off by having Ultimate practice with 11 other folks in super-windy conditions. It was a ton of fun, really tested one’s ability to handle the disc properly; loads of turnovers.
There’s even a shimmer of goodness about my US taxes — I filed AND completed them for free! This was made possible by TaxAct, a tax-software company which upsells their free customers while they’re doing their taxes to get them to buy their deluxe package. But that’s mostly useful if you’ve got a complicated tax situation, and I think I might possibly have the simplest return ever. Though I’ll have to increase my federal wage withholdings during 2004 — I can’t stand owing money at the end of the year. Federal because there’s no state income tax for Florida. Woot some more! 🙂
Today’s pic was taken at lunch while I was walking across the boardwalk to the apartment complex’s clubhouse. The turtles all-come-a-runnin whenever anyone steps on it — they know it’s very possible they’ll be getting fed. I don’t want to encourage this kind of behaviour, so I didn’t give them anything (I had nothing on me 😉
