Inside the Red Head's Head<p><strong>Happy Birthday, Dad</strong></p><p>Today is my father’s birthday. The first since he passed away last summer. I’m going to be sad today. I think that’s a given. When I was really little we used to watch reruns of Star Trek together (even though it often gave me nightmares). I’m watching Star Trek right now. Just because.</p><p>It’s also tax day in the united states. Your income tax return forms are due today. My father had a tax prep business. Tax day falling on his birthday was a sign somehow. These days my brother is a CPA so tax day is a big deal for him too. In that spirit, allow me to wish all accountants and bookkeepers a Happy Tax Day in honor of my father and my brother and also my mother who used to help with Dad’s tax business. Get through today and then you’re free until January. Sort of. I know you’re never truly finished with tax season. There’s always something more to work on.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/accountant/" target="_blank">#accountant</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/april-15th/" target="_blank">#april15th</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/birthday/" target="_blank">#birthday</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/bookkeeper/" target="_blank">#bookkeeper</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/brother/" target="_blank">#brother</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/certified-public-accountant/" target="_blank">#certifiedPublicAccountant</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/cpa/" target="_blank">#cpa</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/dad/" target="_blank">#dad</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/family/" target="_blank">#Family</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/happy-birthday/" target="_blank">#happyBirthday</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/happy-tax-day/" target="_blank">#happyTaxDay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/rest-in-peace/" target="_blank">#restInPeace</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/tax-day/" target="_blank">#taxDay</a></p>
