Working on taxes tonight and looks like the cost of the software to prepare them will be more than what is owed to the federal government. Turbo Tax is $59 and what is owed will be $5 as it stands right now. I am grateful it wasn’t more than that but still. Paying taxes is not fun but what it goes toward is important into keeping community and country going. No taxes no roads, schools, community services, military, first responders, etc… all those folks need to get paid and we need their services. I am cool if everyone is paying their fair share but you know the one constant in life is death and taxes.

Scotch Eggs
Scotch eggs are great for anytime especially breakfast.
- 7 medium eggs
- 1 lb log ground pork sausage
- 1 cup bread or cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tbsp dried parsley flakes
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Dash of nutmeg (optional)
Add 1/2 inch water to medium sauce pan and bring to a boil on medium high. Carefully place 6 eggs in pan with large spoon or tongs, cover, and steam for 7 minutes; remove from heat and run cold water into pan for 30 seconds.

Cut sausage log into 6 equal slices (about 1″ each) and flatten each to about 1/4 inch. In small (cereal size) bowl, stir together flour, mustard, onion powder, and salt; in another bowl, beat remaining egg…

Being Sensitive
I am a very emotional and social being. As I have gotten older I find friendships harder to hold onto for one reason or another. Like anyone I crave a tribe that is inclusive of all genders and orientations. Being a sensitive man is hard because there are years of conditioning that men aren’t supposed to be that way.

Grace and peace my friends today.
Yet Another Theme Change…
I wanted to do something different than just a blog and to challenge my ability to take a stock theme and customize it to the way I wanted it to look. Using the Sela theme that is somewhat light and airy I tweaked it using some CSS and gave it the Tony touch. The blog functions as a website as well as a blog so I have the best of both worlds. Let me know how you like it and is it easy to navigate. Thanks for putting up with my changing stuff around. As long as you can read it on all your devices that is what I am going for.
