I wish we could get rid of Thanksgiving and Easter and every other friggin holiday and birthday that falls in between the two. That way my wife wouldn’t insist on being up north so she could see the kids and we could spent the entire time between November 1st until the end of April at our Villages home. And while I’m hoping and wishing, taxes shouldn’t need to be filed until July 15th. How good would that be : )
