• 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
