Hello! This is worse than being in the hospital 2 weeks ago. If I had but another appendix to give to get out of my live blogging duty Read more

(Psssstt...I’m actually from Benton, but I think Chi Chi is from Greenwood, so I figured we could just split the difference and call it Shreveport to save confusion.) Read more

Ohhh do Margaret Morris and Minnie Randell next!  Read more

Thank you for your support. My managers, coaches, and I strongly believe the Olympic committee should be inundated with complaints until this obvious injustice is addressed. Read more

Look, I don’t care where they tell it as long as it gets told.  Read more

Sorry! I thought I’d stopped editing my first wrong comment and was instead making a new comment to correct the wrong comment. I come down here like twice a year, and it’s confusing! I’m now going to assume all those death threats on my blogs are accidents. Read more

But to avoid passive voice, my advice is that “attributed” is the word that does the closest thing to action in this part of the sentence and should be the verb. I could update to change “is” to “should be.” But you’re right, as it stands “were never spoken” is the paltry bit of language this man chose to do no work in… Read more

Hi! Um, wow!? I would love to hear every detail of that experience. Email [email protected] if you want to talk a little bit about it.  Read more

There will be no correct math in these or any of my writings. I’ve worked hard all my life to reject and avoid all of my formal number learning. If you are looking for sums that reach their logical conclusions, I must direct you elsewhere. Read more

Jerry somehow I knew you’d come through with something delightful.  Read more

I could write a whole other essay on how angry I still am that challenge didn’t land Phi Phi in the bottom over Latrice. Justice for my angel Latrice. Read more

Oops, added too many zeros to the calculator. The post has been updated to reflect the fact that Witherspoon is simply very, very rich and not as unfathomably rich as her bosses at Apple. Read more

That typo plus your joke are the only funny thing about today. Just fixed it but now I’m wondering if I should have left it for others to enjoy.  Read more

I think of Susan Miller as a second mother. Maybe a first mother, since I actually listen to her advice.  Read more

Sure but we are always last, given other signs’ hand me downs, and prone to tears about it.  Read more

That picture was taken June 17, 2019 after a haircut. Truvy is ten, she just never grew. You can come for me but Miss Kennedy-Onassis is above reproach. Read more

Vera! Thank you for reminding me that I have the option of watching Vera.  Read more
