Lola@Cafe Rossini was trying to explain Easter and its role in America to a young foreign gentleman hanging out there, and, struggling to remember what its religious meaning was, got Good Friday mixed up with Passover. I remarked aloud at this impressive display of track-jumping. We have this kind of a relationship I suppose.

I have to do my taxes now. I am tickled that we New Englander get an extra day to do em coz the regional IRS office is in Boston, which is closed tomorrow due to the wacky Boston-only holiday of Patriot's Day.

did maundy thursday come up? that's the one that usually throws people.

i am doing my taxes! the first run through, i apparently owed NYState like $2k. second time through, i owe nothing. i miss being in a state where i don't have to do this shit (WA). i need to move to a state where there's just the fed taxes.

Well of course it's not that clear cut -- "if you live in Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont or the District of Columbia, your deadline is Tuesday, April 18." So two NE states get cut out of the deal and a couple slightly more far flung states get the benefit.

You didn't think which center you file at made 100% logical regional sense did you?

And it's hardly a Boston-only holiday. feh.
