5 reasons to skip Thanksgiving dinner and 5 reasonable excuses
The following was first posted on 11/22/18. It was written for a non-COVID, second Trump Thanksgiving, but seems appropriate today. Have a happy Thanksgiving and please stay safe out there: Thanksgiving can be stressful and this year will be worse. That I can tell you.

Death and boozama in the South Pacific
Warning: This is a very old joke Derek and Phil were long time sailing buddies, three years into an around the world adventure. Somewhere in the South Pacific a terrible storm destroyed their boat and set them adrift 100 yards offshore of an uncharted island inhabited by a strange group of natives. Derek and Phil...

You can leave a mess on your table and walk away guilt free
Busing tables is not one of the pressing issues of the 21st Century. It should not appear on the same page or even in the same book with climate change.

Brothers and Sisters of the Resistance, Melania Trump is not the Enemy
Melania Trump has drawn the ire of the Liberal universe in a way that is totally disproportionate with anything that you can possibly accuse her of doing. The name calling is shameful and embarrassing. Michelle Obama is one the most beloved first ladies since Jackie Kennedy. She’s smart, articulate and passionate in her beliefs and... Read more »
Christmas Magic Through the Eyes of an Atheistic, Natural Born Scrooge
I just watched Miracle on 34th Street (the 1947 original, not the 1994 remake), so you’ve caught me at a vulnerable moment. I’m hesitant to say “vulnerable” because Donald Trump has forbidden any use of that word by the Centers for Disease Control. If you’ve never seen the movie, I recommend the original. Technology may... Read more »
How to Piss Off Donald Trump
Donald Trump was outraged one morning to find that someone had written in pee, “Trump Sucks” in the snow in the Rose Garden.
