Again, the cruelest month

If only April heralded simply the arrival of nice weather and reemergence of flora and fauna. Unfortunately, it is, of course, synonymous with taxes. My case is especially shitty because the embassy doesn't take out taxes all year long; rather, it is up to me to squirrel away funds for the deadline. I owe literally thousands of dollars. It hurts. As does the thought/knowledge that my DC tax dollars are going to going to be sorely abused.

While my money vanishes, buds, birds, and bees aren't the only things reappearing. Kickball season has started up again!!! Aaagh. I saw them last Thursday; the field is just around the corner from my house. Last year, the brahs played until mid-November, and it makes me grumpy that they monopolize the field for so long. I have enjoyed many an organized sport in my day, but I'm not into WAKA et al for multiple reasons..Washington D.C.--where you can have a multimillion-dollar lawsuit over pants and a legal defense fund for kickball!
