This is the kind of post I might have made on Facebook, if I hadn’t stopped posting there.  (Today’s Facebook reminds me of AOL in the mid-1990s.  Something new will replace it sooner than we think.)

Anyway, I’m pleased to report that I am happy helping folks prepare their tax returns at the local financial counseling agency.  I like the staff, the teamwork is great, it feels good to deal directly with people, and taxes are complicated enough (no thanks to the Congress) to keep me intellectually engaged.  It also helps that I think I will be good at this.  Being good at something is a lot less stressful than trying to measure up.

So the days are getting longer and they also seem a little brighter.
