This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.
Or the three people I guilted into reading this blog, whatever.
Growing older is inevitable. Growing up is optional.

Dear Russell,I'm surprised you didn't work sour grapes into the mix. Ah, well, the limits imposed by 100 words, eh?You continue to amaze. How do you keep you dendrites flexible and your synapses snapping after all these years? Whatever it is your taking, disregard your doctor and double the dose. Captain's orders.Looking forward to more lunacy in the future.Aloha,DougP.S. Thank you for the kind words re Here and Now. 🙂 D.

Oh…I love your style! I personally think the berries' attitude would have disqualified them – they can be such pricks (can I say that?! hahahaha). ~Susan (http://www.susanwenzel.com/)

An important piece of anecdotal History! It needed to be mentioned. Undertrodden raspberries are so often (s)quashed. It is good to re-visit this unique uprising. If it hadn't been for the Fruit of the Loom, it may never have occurred. I'm not sure that they are always given the credit that they deserve. Further, the name Wrath of Grapes, which has now become the most common one for this Rebellion, tends to overshadow the heroism of the raspberries at this glorious moment in their History. Thank you, Russell, for reminding us once again of this terrible time and how lucky we are not to have known it. My story's on the list.

I think I'd have liked History lessons more if you'd been on the book list. Another fine, educational piece (fine means delicious in my neck of the woods). 😀

I always have to come here for a chuckle. You didn't disappoint me by any stretch with this one. You are the master humorist, Russell. Bennett Cerf would pay homage to you. I'm no the list but here's the link anyway because I'm obsessive. 😉 http://www.rochelle-wisoff.blogspot.com/2012/06/forgiveness.html

Right you are, Lady Marilyn. The ground was sticky that horrible day. Red streams poured down the hillside into the nearby creek, so much that the water turned pink. The next day, insects swarmed the battlefield and gorged themselves on the pulp of the courageous raspberries. The scent of soured fruit filled the air and carried for miles in the mid-day breeze.

I was just out at a gathering today where the discussion wound round to how hard comedy is. So far I've laughed every time I've read your posts and I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do!
