I've been off the computer for a couple of days, partly because I haven't been able to come up with anything interesting or new or funny to share. These days it seems like there's so much chaos in the world, we should count ourselves lucky to enjoy a few days of nothing to report. Boring is a good... Sign in to see full entry.

Prescription for Politics-Induced Anxiety
Gonna ask my doctor to write a prescription for Fukitol. These little green capsules contain pollen from Whocares Daisies grown in wild mountain meadows and a smidgen of imported Notmyproblem root. This combo is designed to address the symptoms of politics-induced fatigue, and curb the urge to... Sign in to see full entry.

Utopian: modeled on or aiming for a state in which everything is perfect
What's the direct opposite of utopian? You've got that right -- it's dystopian. Also termed Orwellian after George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984." You may have studied that one in English Lit. We were sure such a thing could never happen in America. Sign in to see full entry.

THE PRESIDENT'S PLUNGER
I've been thinking about a gag. Shortly after I moved into this house, probably 18 or 19 years ago, my friendly Ex stopped by for a coffee. He asked to use my bathroom, and when he came out, he said "Don't go in there." He abruptly left and came back a few minutes later with a toilet plunger, which... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday I posted that I found a notebook with a number of hand-written stories that would work for the collection - to be titled "Patchwork."
