My Wife Told Me To Make An A** Of Myself
I’m driving from Mom’s in the desert to our home by the sea. And, by some miracle, I’m actually earlier than usual today. So, I contact my wife for advice on what to do with my time. Her response was unexpected.

Crime and Punishment
I read today that the U.S. Government is going to spare the life of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, the head of the Sinaloa Cartel. Instead, they plan on “Holding The Mayo”. I wholeheartedly agree…..

The Money Dance
I’m at a certain type of exclusive large home center store that’s painted a bright orange. I notice a placard that says – Tap Card Here, with a bright orange arrow to the exact spot that you are to place your card. How helpful. I cannot speak for you, but figuring out how to exactly…

Poor Taylor Swift
At the store the other day I saw the “ultimate guide” to Taylor Swift that proclaimed she was: Fierce! Fearless! Fantastic! I kinda feel sorry for her. Apparently she is Totally F’d.

New Year’s Resolution
Every year I resolve that I will eat healthier. On January 1 I managed to eat (in order) bagels, popovers, coffee, donuts, salami-wrapped cheese, soda cookies, chips, and pizza (with wine of course). On January 2, the oh-so-smug TV newsfolks said that I should “forgive my failures”. Failures??? Wait, I managed to get the “break…
