The Beatles - Taxman

4-17-12  I went for a very short run tonight, 2 miles.  I just wanted to see how I felt.  I am still sore and stiff on my left side.  I have one toe that I think I jammed and it is swollen and a bit bruised too.  I actually felt pretty good running tonight so that is encouraging.  I will not be able to run Wednesday, I have a meeting that goes until 7:00Pm and then there is dinner afterwards.  I think I'll try to skip out of the dinner and come home but it will still be too late to run.  I'll see how I feel and then adjust my running schedule for the remainder of the week and for next week since I missed my goal for last week and looks like I will for this week too.  I need to be ready for 20 miles on May 5!

I saw my first lilac of the season in bloom.  Pretty amazing for April in Ohio.  We are supposed to have another week of warmish weather, 60's.  I'll take that.  It sure makes getting outside to run a lot nicer when the weather is pleasant.  We have had so much wind lately, yesterday with winds in the 40+ MPH range with gusts higher.  It was a good day to lay on the couch with ice packs and Advil.

Tax Day!  What better way to celebrate than with the Beatles!  Taxman, written by George Harrison:

                                                                 

 Let me tell you how it will be,

There’s one for you, nineteen for me,
‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t take it all.
‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.

(If you drive a car ), I’ll tax the street,
(If you try to sit ), I’ll tax your seat,
(If you get too cold ), I’ll tax the heat,
(If you take a walk ), I’ll tax your feet.
Taxman.

‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
Don’t ask me what I want it for
(Haha! Mister Wilson!)
If you don’t want to pay some more
(Haha! Mister Heath!),
‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.

Now my advice for those who die, (Taxman!)
Declare the pennies on your eyes, (Taxman!)
‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
And you’re working for no-one but me,
(Taxman).
