    KEEP YOUR MINDS CLEAR & PENCIL's SHARP

    There were 2 people haveing a contest, who could chop the most trees down by April 15th. One worked furiously, every day, all day without stopping. The other would stop for a few minutes every half hour. When April 15th came, the person who would stop had cut down more trees. The other person said "I don't understand, I kept working while he did not!" The winner said " The reason I kept stopping was to sharpen my saw blades".

          OK, here's what happen

          Ok all you heavy weight stars of the tax profession (thanks for the gold stars!), here's what happen. Today I went to Lion's club, (luncheon) which I rarely do during tax season. When I walked in Alan, who probably the most congenial member of the club, said "John!!!!!!!!!!!!...............John???????". I said "I don't know why I'am here, but I know I had to come out for some freash air". Alan proceeded to tell the the story of the wood contest. Ah!!! my blades are sharp now, back to the taxes.

                Laughing all the way like Santa Claus. I like the story very much. I guess our mind is sharp enough anyway. Just needs a rest every so often during the day and focus on somerhing else. Otherwise it gets foggy. I am taking two looooong breaks every day. So, let the sun shine and laugh and enjoy.

                And of course, there is an extension form out there....................
