“Taxes, taxes, beautiful lovely taxes! A-ha! A-ha!”
Ok, so I’m not real big on taxes. I doubt few of us are. But my father was a CPA, so I have to be grateful that we live in a country that has such a confusing tax system, that people can make a career out of doing them for you. Weird, I know. As children, we were always excited on April 15th, because it meant we finally got to see our dad again. He always got really busy as “tax season” approached. April 15th was a bit of a holiday in our household. Several times we’d take a Disneyland vacation the very next day. I’m glad I had a dad who worked hard for his family, but always made time for them as well. I’m also grateful for the many tax refunds that he and my accountants after him were able to get for me. If you haven’t said “thank you” to your accountant lately, do so. They’re pretty awesome people.
