Taxing Routes

I know it's generally seen as horrid and long-winded and overly mathy -- and perennial -- but I have a small confession to make:
I actually enjoy doing my taxes.

It must be a throw-back to the days of yore when "Choose Your Own Adventure" books were hot ticket items and you could follow whatever path you wanted because it was all laid out for you.

Unfortunately for those books, I always ran out of fingers keeping the pages as markers so I could return to find out what Else might have happened... I had no patience to re-read the segments later.

And therein lies the fundamental likeability of taxes: there is only one route I need to keep track of... and ooh SNAP! it's all based on numbers! yaaaaay! :)
