I give up trying to pay my taxes

Thought the H&R Block site would start working – and stop losing data – after midnight. Apparently not.

I suppose I should keep trying, as they will not cancel out the amount due with the rebate, because that would make too much sense.

Seth Godin doesn't know it, but he's an official spokesperson for PWGD

His latest blog, What happens when we organize, in it's entirety, emphasis added:

Happy Iranian New Year and For real this time: I only eat in the company of others

The first day of Spring is also the Iranian new year, according to my only real Iranian friend, Vafa.

With the exception of raw fruit and vegetables, I will only eat in the company of other people.
