That which does not kill you should RUN
We had a delightful afternoon at the symphony, and my hip let me walk about 1/2 a mile to the restaurant afterward (that is very seriously so much more than I've been able to walk at one time in about a year -- maybe my hip is improving!), and we had excellent tacos, including a life-changing huitlacoche taco.
And then I had to come home and file our tax return. Rude awakening indeed. (We got a refund; the problem is that the H&R Block program kept giving me a glitch because I auto-downloaded Tim's W-2, but it seems the program didn't like the auto-downloaded W-2. Ultimately I had to delete his W-2 and then key all the info in by hand, which I would have done from the start if I had known that auto-downloading the W-2 would be a problem. I'm going to blame this one on H&R Block. But at least it's finished!)

I think I had that problem one year, Tep. Has not recurred, this year downloading my docs was fine

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
It’s going to be a long baseball season for this Mets fan.

It was my understanding that it always is?
Note - I have not paid any attention so if there is something specific happening right now I definitely do not know about it

The Mets were just swept at home by the A’s.

I mean, I enjoyed it!
But it must have been frustrating watching Lindor make one stupid ass mistake after another.
