A tree grows in Queens

After completing my State Tax Returns this year, I felt as though I had just been slapped in the face. After all New York and I have been through, I got FIVE DOLLARS back. I mean really, is that all I’m worth?

I’ve been gloomy and sad about this for weeks. But my gloominess has just subsided. Why? Because soon there will be a nice little tree planted right outside my apartment. New York has redeemed itself.
