I’m getting more and more tired these days! Little kids never seem to really WANT to take naps; they whine about it even if they really are tired. Adults sometimes take naps on purpose. Older folks have naps spontaneously “happen” to them. I’m becoming increasingly more likely to belong to that third group. Every afternoon [...]
Penguins On Prozac Poppies Ogling Peonies Perhaps Onions Pollute Palpate Olives Privately Pretend Ohio’s Perplexed Pie? Ohhhh! Please!!! .
You’ve all probably heard the old joke about April Showers: Q: If April showers bring May flowers, what do Mayflowers bring? A: Pilgrims!

I’m pleased to announce that the gardening catalogs have finally given up on me. They’ve figured out that as much as I love looking at pretty plants, I will inevitably end up killing them. It’s happened more than once. I’ll look through the pretty pictures and decide I want a beautiful garden of this or [...]
I wish chickens were all pretty colors, like parrots and macaws. We could admire their beautiful blues and yellows and greens and reds… And then we could choose beautiful dipping sauces for them. Because, let’s face it, they would still be delicious deep-fried. .
1. “So, wait, HOW many gerbils are missing now?” 2. “My new girlfriend looks just like Pauly Shore! See?” 3. “Here, try this. I just found it next to the cat.” 4. “Have you seen my new underwear stain?” 5. “But Mildred LIKES making Chex Mix with Brussels Sprouts!” 6. “When the police get here, [...]
