The pandemic was not being handed a loaded gun. It was a loaded gun. No, the pandemic was being offered a helping hand and a shiny brochure. The Bible Belt looked nice. Lots of hot

I like to ask myself questions to which I don't know the answer to see if I do. I'd be surprised at how many times I get it right if I didn't already know how many times it was. Of

The one thing I liked about my apartment was the big west facing window giving me an unobstructed view of the park & by extension the seasons. I'd be in the dark on the brightest

My soul, of course, was not wet. But it felt it though when I burst out of the outlet pipe into the icy waters of the Bay of Fundy. It took it a while to catch up with me. When it

The first Hasenpfeffer Stand opened up in Bavaria on the same day that Adam Weishaupt created the Bavarian Illuminati. Not that they are related in any way with the Illuminati. But

My wife liked to tease me about my picture in the school yearbook when I was in kindergarten. I was wearing a bowtie. "You have cherub cheeks," she claimed. "Which of these hussies
