my other patriotic duty - and then some...

I just did my other patriotic duty. And then some. I just mailed a check for what we owe Uncle Sam for 2012. And one to the state. I also sent to each of them the first quarterly payment for our estimated 2013 taxes.
("What's the hurry? Isn't all of that due only on April 15?")
Yes.
("You're weird.")
So I've heard.
