The Students

“Our 2030 Education Protection Bill missed the mark. With that bill we put armed security in some schools, let the faculty conceal carry in others, but we didn’t pass that right on to those who really needed it. The students. Who is going to protect our elementary school students from the next Mrs.Smith, the overworked teacher who pointed her Board Of Education issued handgun at a student during…

Rein Ring

Largest reindeer fighting ring this side of the equator, busted! A multinational sting has freed more than 1000 fight-deer from the Geographical North Pole. The eleven and a half month long under cover operation ended 9 O’clock this morning with the arrest of 23 Elves and Whos with ties to the ring. At this time authorities have not released the names of those apprehended, nor have they released…

The Golden Rule

You know what I never understood about the “Golden Rule”? I mean, aside from the fact that there are multiple golden rules. I just can’t wrap my head around this whole “treat others how you would like to be treated” thing. Even as a kid, it just sounded/sounds… Naive? I’m not entirely sure that’s the word that I’m looking for here, but it’s the one in going to go with, for now. Why is it assumed…

Captain's Log: Twenty Fore

Captain’s Log: Twenty Fore

So there I was, walking home from the diner at 5am on a Thursday morning, less than a block away from the police station, when I notice that a house on the other side of the street has their front door wide open, and I spend the rest of my 10 minute walk home debating whether I should call the police. As I write this, in the bathroom (of course), I can’t help but think about all of the comments…

In The Air Tonight...

In The Air Tonight…

“No no, it was two little nigger boys from Folsom…” My apologies. I’ve taken some time away from writing, I’m a little rusty. I know that normally when you start stories out with the ending it doesn’t end well. However, at the risk of being anticlimactic, I can’t think of another way to start this off. That line, not the conversation that preceded it, or the events that surrounded it, but that…

On The Seventh Day…

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Seven hugs I’m missing, Six Salamanders, Five family members, Four election days, Three months in, Two different gyms, And a surreal year with Covid 19! Grief is funny. This past April marks 7 years without my Dad. And honestly, I thought that I was ok. I hadn’t cried in years, and I wasn’t trying extra hard to repress intrusive thoughts……

On The Sixth Day...

On The Sixth Day…

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Six Salamanders, Five family members, Four election days, Three months in, Two different gyms, And a surreal year with Covid 19! Yeah… I picked up another nerdy hobby this year. Warhammer. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get around to playing, or if I even want to, but learning and building the Salamander Space Marines has apparently become my new…

On The Fifth Day...

On The Fifth Day…

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Five family members, Four election days, Three months in, Two different gyms, And a surreal year with Covid 19! For the past 5+ years, I’ve been working on building my family tree. This year, for whatever reason, it seemed like a good idea to take a blood test to try and fill in some of the gaps and get past some of the walls I’ve hit along…

On The Third Day...

On The Third Day…

On the Third day of Christmas, Three months in, Two different gyms, And a surreal year with Covid 19! Ok, so not REALLY three months, but as a result of Covid I have spent a total of a little over two months in some sort of isolation this year. 70ish days/3 months, tomayto/tomahto, right? Listen, don’t you judge me. I had nothing else to go with 3 here, give me a break! ~ Until next time, stay…
