whenever we encounter "quid est certissime?" in class (which is very often - can't shake off the feeling of deja lu) instead of "mors!" somebody always say "taxes!" actually, i'm surprised no one has tried to say that in latin yet. what would that be? tributum? should look that up.i've never had to do taxes before and don't know how to but i expect i shall learn. christine said she'll ask her mother to give me some stout advice. (the jensens know all about these things.) but the trouble isn't the mathematics of it all. it is that i am the kind of person who throws receipts away.
