Father helped me make out my income tax for the past year. I didn't make as much as last year but paid more, nonetheless.

By the time I have paid my income tax, re-imbursed father for my car license plates, and taken care of my gas & oil expense from K.C. and back I shall have made a pretty good hole in my exchequer.

Must admit my present attitude is much more normal - and makes mother much happier. Why I never truly enjoyed the company of women until the past two or three years, I'll never know.
