I'm Just Saying

An open letter

I know it’s disappointing, or even irritating, when your favorite columnist gets political. Luckily, for many of you, I’m not your favorite columnist. Regardless, please feel welcome to read an open letter to President Putin.

Dear Vladimir,

Well played

Regardless of the fact that I’ve never won a pub quiz, or even come close, I’m one of those people who knows just enough trivia to be considered obnoxious by everyone else.

Packing heat

Boy, am I glad my years of touring and spending more time in airports than home are behind me. Particularly when I read the headline that the TSA retrieved 5,972 guns at security check points last year—blowing past a record confiscated in 2019, despite, from Covid, a period of low travel.

I remembered to write it down this year:

February 9th.

When my personal harbinger of spring vocalizes his anticipation of warmer and longer days.

Alexa, shut up

One of the reasons I won’t allow an Amazon Alexa into our home is because the fear of ‘Alexa’ listening in is both valid and alarming. I mean, we all realize we’re under surveillance every time we browse online, right?

"Snow!!” a few, of which I formerly considered friends, exclaimed upon hearing the latest forecast for what sounds to be blizzard like conditions arriving Sunday.

“I love snow!” chirped one. “I can’t wait to get to that stack of books I’ve been meaning to read.”

New year, new me

And so the New Year is upon us!

I find the idea of making resolutions to be deadly dull and not terribly effective. In fact, when I look back at the several I have made in past years, no pencil was needed to tick off which ones I’d managed to uphold:

A solemn vow to avoid refined sugar. Fail.

Shortly after arriving in West Hollywood, California, in 1985, I somehow managed to land a job writing jokes for a new game show pilot called ‘Word Play,’ later to be hosted by the congenial Tom Kennedy.
