Vote, if for no other reason, than in gratitude that it is over for at least the next three months. No more ads screaming lies at you. No more insane debates that are better scripted than “reality” TV. No more ears bleeding from the cacophony.
If this campaign season had lasted one more day, I may have had to give up on democracy completely as simply being too painful.
The 2016 presidential campaign will officially begin on January 21. Mark that on your calendars.
For this they needed a study?
Mexico recently conducted a study that said if pot was legalized in the United States, the biggest losers would be the drug cartels. Really, they needed to do a study to figure that out? Where can I apply for one of those study grants because I aim to prove that if you pee into the wind, the biggest loser is the person peeing.
Who’d a thunk?
I’d have never guessed I’d see the day when I was thinking, “Way to go, Chris Christie!” And yet, here I am thinking that. Wow.
I know I’m shameless but
If this baby doesn’t make you want to leave the world a better place for her than you found it, there is something simply wrong with you.
And yes, I will still boldly hand her back to her mother when she poops. Making the world a better place does NOT include wiping poopy butts after you hit 65.

It finally happened
I’ve outlived my thousand pack box of yellow fake sweetener from Costco. Now I can buy a box of whatever the newer version of the sweetener is. Just please don’t make another improved one for a few years until I finish the newest improved one that comes, I believe, in a green packet. I’d like to be current on the latest fake sugar fad for at least a few months.
Gay marriage rights are not about religion
We had a tragedy in my family this week. My cousin’s son was killed in a motorcycle accident as he rode to school. He was a sophomore in college. Someone came out of a driveway as he passed and hit him. He never had a chance.
This young man and his brother had started out life in some of the worse circumstances imaginable. They were adopted from Brazil as abandoned babies. But their luck changed when my cousin and his partner adopted them.
These two babies went from the dimmest of futures to the brightest of futures. They were raised
It’s hard not to just cry
I don’t want to look but I can’t stop. The pictures are horrifying and yet I am mesmerized. I keep thinking that with each picture the reality will hit. But it all looks so unreal. That can’t be the street I used to walk down. That’s a river. That can’t be the Boardwalk where I stroll. It’s an ocean. I watch TV incessantly, I ransack the Internet looking for I don’t know what… for that something that will finally make it all click. But nothing does. My sister and brother and cousins are safe. I can’t ask for more than
Why I’m glad we’re poor
My sister sent me these pictures of the storm approaching Atlantic City on Sunday as she evacuated to Valley Forge, PA. where they have large malls to keep her happy while the storm wreaks its havoc. Got to say the picture of that house makes me glad I’m too poor to own beach front property.
