T is for Taxman

T is for Taxman.  It is one of my favorite Beatles songs for the guitar work alone.  It is one protest song I can get behind whole heartedly.  Originally released on Revolver (1966), “Taxman” is one of three songs written by George Harrison on the album.  While I knew George sang lead on “Taxman,” I did not know Paul McCartney played guitar on the song.  That guitar riff is one of the reasons why I love “Taxman” so much.  Madness.

I remember overhearing this conversation and just thinking, "Oh, Charlotte..."

The best part was that when she ran up to check with Mom, Mom was so distracted, she accidentally corroborated this story with an absent-minded "Mmmm-hmmm..."

It just keeps getting better :D

The Language of a Relationship

Reblogged from A Big Life:

One thing people feel they have free rein to constantly comment on, is what language I speak in my home and to my partner. The most common refrain is, 'You are in Germany, you should speak German to each other' and other variations on the theme. Frankly, I tend to feel telling me what language to speak to my partner is like me telling you how often you should be having sex with yours.

I love this post! It's funny... Even though Brian doesn't fluently speak another language, we say little things to each other in both Spanish and Polish. I love it - and the fact that I now know a few words of Polish. It is a part of our relationship despite the fact that we aren't both bilingual.
