During my commute this morning, I was sitting adjacent to a couple who may have been overserved last night. Their conversation immediately brought to mind one of my favorite Dorothy Parker short stories. I’m thrilled that I was able to find it for you. Enjoy!

It’s hard to believe I’m writing another one of these awful notes, and only a week after the last one. I don’t recognize this world. I don’t know where all this hate and violence is coming from. Leaving the analysis and problem solving to bigger brains than mine, I’m going to just keep on keeping on with the beautiful things and hope that some day soon we don’t need them quite so much. Wishing us all better days. ❤

It’s not that I don’t find it hilarious (I do) or that the makers aren’t in on the joke (They are). It’s that I’ve reached an age where people might think I’m serious. By GoodieTees

Show Hole /SHō hōl/ (n): the emptiness felt after you finish the final episode of a show you’ve been binge watching. A very vulnerable state.

Who doesn’t love Fridays?
Story time: My daughter once loaded up her diaper so enthusiastically, poop shot up her back and bounced off her head. Mercifully, the cleanup is a blur (at one point we were both in the bathtub crying), but I’m sure I didn’t stop to shape the stuff into bunny ears.
