Happy Easter STalkers.

We just planted back at home after a spur of the moment 2100 mile road trip to one of our happy places.

My bride finished tax season late afternoon on Tuesday April 15th. For those of us in the USA, this is both an auspicious day and an infuriating one.  Tax day!  For those in the accounting/tax profession it is the day that ends the brutal 80hr/wk tax season that starts in mind to late January.

When something fails the smell test, why keep sniffing it?

Why do we, or why does anyone, tolerate stench?  Whether it is an actual odor, or a speculative odor, if it stinks, pinch your nose, find, and eliminate the source.

Certainly there is some element of the level of pleasantness of a smell is in the nose of the smell-er. However, some things are unquestionably noxious odoriferous emanations.  Noxious people, noxious behaviors, noxious attitudes, etc, etc, etc.

Why keep "smelling" them?

That is the question.

On the topic of aging, aging relatives, and younger Gens expecting to inherit.

This is way toooooo long btw.  I'll start with my appologies.

DW was late getting home last night.  Not unusual. It is tax season and she works batshit crazy hours from Mid Jan through Mid Apr.

Anyway, she texts last night about an hour later than she usually calls on her way home from the office.  She was sitting in the garage on the phone with her aunt.  I did not hear the garage door open since we are in a cold snap and the heat is cycling on and off periodically.
