Coffee from a Cardboard Cup

Reading up for my tax preparation this year, I learned that I am considered ‘unmarried’ for filing purposes! Just like that, I am unmarried. I guess this is because Matthias is a non-person for US tax purposes last year – actually, that’s even more disturbing than the unmarried thing. Crazy tax laws – they could at least make is sound less weird. I keep reading the tax instructions out loud to Matthias and he laughs trying to figure out the logic sequence of instructions. I have to read everything at least twice to get the logic myself – how many PhD physicists does it take to sort out US taxes? Apparently, more than two.
