Can I just say...

...Nutella on a half of a day-old croissant is luscious!

Last year's business...

Rendering unto Caesar....

Taxes keep the system rolling along, 
sometimes more smoothly 
than at other times, 
but rolling along, nevertheless; 
however, 
while I do not begrudge, 
for the most part, 
my fellow citizens 
my share of 
the systemic financial burden, 
I am more aggrieved by 
the amount of time 
I must dole out
to figure out
what I
owe.

Ite Infammate Omnia

Reportedly, Ignatius commissioned Francis Xavier to India (before either was deemed a saint) with the words above, loosely translated as "Go and set the world on fire" but transliterated (by Google Translate, anyway, and with inflammate spelled with one 'm') as "Go all aflame" -- a big difference, in my thinking!
