Early Election Education

Wow! It has been quite a month. The virus has shut down the world. We have all taken to self-quarantine.  Liquor stores have been named essential businesses and apparently schools are not. I even heard a rumor that a politician did something intelligent. Who would have ever expected that? Unprecedented events like these are happening …

Killer Ducks And Other Natural Disasters

Spring is here, spring is here. Life is skittles, life is beer. I think the very best time of the year is the spring. I do. Don’t you? I think I’d better stop now before Tom Lehrer comes after me for plagiarism. I don’t really mean to copy him, but frankly, I like the sentiment …

Can I Still Change My Children’s Names?

I was listening to a comedian the other day, and he was talking about his father. Basically, he noted that for the first several years of his life he thought his name was, “Oh Crap”. As in, “Oh Crap, did you make this mess?” or, “Oh Crap, why are you looking through that window?” and …

Don’t Panic I Might Have Your Back… Maybe

The world health organization is once again panicking, and that’s got the media in an uproar due to the fact that there are too many news organizations and too few news stories. How are they all going to fill twenty-four hours a day with only one health scare? I am not referring to the Corona …

It can Happen To You Be Warned

Things I Learned From My Mother

I was attending my local writing seminar and was shocked. As the group read their submissions almost all of the writers, who chose to share something, were writing their memoirs. I never thought of that. Sure, we have all had some interesting experiences, but none of us have ever been president or eaten five-hundred chicken …

If You’re Smart, Make Your Travel Plans… Never

I remember when my father brought home our first NES game system. How excited I was. I remember holding that controller in my hand and listening to the electronic introduction music. I saw my character in position, pushed the ‘GO’ button and… all the lights went out and smoke poured out the back of the …

My Mold Is Better Than Your Mold!

Has anybody, besides me, ever wondered why almost everything is celebrated with Champaign? Seriously all it is, is a dry sparkling white wine. Thinking of it in those terms you can get it anywhere. I know a great Michigan winery which makes a great sparkling white wine for about ten bucks. In contrast, real Champaign …

Thou Shalt Not Help Thy Neighbors

Hey everyone. I have some new neighbors, Trae and Coco. No, I am not kidding. Who gives their kids names like that? Better yet, who named their kids like that twenty years ago, and what mortgage agent gave them a home loan without laughing hysterically? But I digress. Anyway, I have new neighbors, and we …
