Dear ______, Thank you for your letter rejecting my submission. I… Continue Reading “Song Writers Block”
Have you ever predicted something ridiculous and had it come true? A couple of weeks ago, I hinted at possible collusion between our fearless leader and her Canadian cohort (neither of whom are Trump fans). Apparently, my comment started a war of words between… Continue Reading “Espionage”
Is there someone in your house who doesn’t understand how a light switch works? These people have no trouble sliding the lever to the “On” position, but can’t seem to grasp the concept of flipping it to “Off” when they leave the room. My… Continue Reading “The Birthday Crasher”
