I feel a haiku coming on...
With coffee in hand
I'm ready to start the day
Once it has been drunk
Today's random question: Where's the best place to go on vacation?
I guess I might need to reconsider my life choices when everytime I meet Santa, the first words out of my mouth are, "Look... I can explan."
Dear early morning driver: you took the time to make your minivan look like a reindeer but you can’t take one second to hit the turn signal an inch from your fingers?
Okay... so maybe I'm starting to get into the holiday spirit.
A bit.
Ho ho... hum.
Q) If A is for Apple and B is for Banana, then what is C for?
A) Plastic Explosives.
Our sales manager just came dancing into the studio singing “It’s Christmas Crack Day” and handed me a big baggie of homemade holiday corn pops.
I have interesting coworkers. 😁🎅🏻
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. I have something like 17 flashlights now.
I think I’ve pretty well established over the years that my sense of fashion is, well, um... let’s just say I’ll never be in any danger of making anyone’s “Best Dressed” list. Even so, I do try to keep up with what’s trending in the world of fashion, out of general curiosity.
But this one has me completely perplexed. What the hell? Did someone forget the middle part of a sweater or do people actually wear something like this?
Welcome to Monday. Probably should get started on my Christmas shopping…

Who called it “Secret Santa” instead of “Non-disclosure Claus?”
Though I have noticed the higher the octane, the worse the mileage gets and more wear and tear on the engine. 🥃 🍺
A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. Doing the math, this means that Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Saw a clown this morning. He greeted me with a good morning. That was a nice jester.
My voice-to-text app just autocorrected "arrogant" to "American" and I am bit put out that I can't even argue with that.
