Daddy needs a quiet house!
Nothing stifles jovial, pre-Boston excitement like spending an afternoon wrangling with arcane tax forms. For me, the complexities of the modern tax code bring the minimalism of running into stark relief.
Running is wonderfully, refreshingly, delightfully simple.
Thank goodness.

One year I ran Boston it was actually on April 15th. Since I owed money that year, I had to mail my return plus check before I left for Boston, which ticked me off because I like to hold onto my money as long as possible. By the way, when April 15 falls on Patriots Day, Massachusetts residents get an extra day to file their returns. Maybe I should have mailed mine from Boston?

I don’t mail my return until 11pm on the 15th. I like going down to the downtown post office to become a part of the disgruntled parade. All the libertarian protesters are out in force, and last year Chick Fil-A gave out free chicken at the drop-off point.
You just can’t get that doing your taxes early.

Free chicken for procrastinators? And for Libertarian tax protesters?
If I’m a procrastinating Libertarian tax protestor can I have a double helping? I’m carbo-loading you know…
