Here are a few of your post-tax-season plans…
- Day off
- consume a large amount of alcohol. go to the beach. consume more alcohol.
- Flying to Florida to find the sun.
- Sleep! and Exercise!
- Taking kids to baseball games & Biking Shenandoah.
- Three days off; back to office for upcoming trials in litigation support matters.
- I’ll let you know in July when it’s over.
- Loading up the minivan and heading west.
- Like last year when I finished at 4:00 on Friday before the 17th, I plan to go home, spend the weekend relaxing, and come to work to greet those who have not yet picked up their returns. All returns will be ready for pickup or on extension before I leave Friday the 11th. No more than a dozen extensions. Why retire at 63 when it is this much fun.
- A happy hour for the team late afternoon on 4/15, and a cross country train trip with my son starting on 4/16. My wife will treat the team to lunch at one of our clients while I am gone as a sign that she appreciates what they do for me during season, too. And then, finally, i’ll probably spend a day or two continuing the restoration of my 1960 Buick LeSabre.
- dinner with the team on Saturday including families
- Party at Hard Times. Then go to San Francisco.
- I don’t usually celebrate. I have a Ministry Team Council meeting at church at 7:30PM on 4-15-08 that I hope to attend.
- We close April the 16th. we have done this for 40 years. It’s a paid holiday.
- go home!
- Catch up on things delayed that need to get done. Work on the important verses the urgent.
- Relax and take a short vacation
- The following day the entire office will be closed with a few additional days for each helper.
- sleep in on 16th
- Evening out–dinner and the theater.
- Buy dinner and drinks for the staff and their significant others.

5 days left! Yippy-ki-ay!
Work hard for another week, then the next Friday night it will be time to fire up the BBQ and invite staff and spouses to the house for a good old fashioned Southern BBQ and homeade ice cream meal. Then, this is our year for peer review, so….
The firm will be going out to Medieval Manor Theatre-Restaurant. I will be going on vacation with my family to NYC!!!
Watch the Super Bowl……….I hope my kids haven’t taped over it!!
Celebrate? I’ll be 15 days behind in my quarterly payroll taxes! Busy season doesn’t end until April 30!
Spend a few days at the ccasino
Wife and I are going to Phoenix for warm weather.
Plan for my new year-May 1st. That’s my personal new year. I still file on a calendar year, though.
SLEEP
Our firm will have a picnic on Thursday, day off Friday.
I personally plan to catch up some neglected stuff around the house, spend some time in the yard, and PLAY WITH MY LITTLE GRANDSONS!!!!!
Sleep. Read. Sleep. Beach. Sleep.
