Dumb joke of the day

I subscribe to a joke of the day e-mail, which always goes directly to my spam junk mail folder at work. Fitting. Like we'd dare to laugh on the job. But I digress.

Not sure I laugh much, anyway, when reading these jokes. They're fairly hideous. But today I giggled. Maybe you will too.

Will and Jane were watching their Denver TV station weatherman giving the forecast one cold winter evening. The weatherman said, expect 10 to 12 inches of snow tonight so park on the right side of the road so the city can plow the left side.

Will ran out and parked on the right side. The next week the forecast called for another 10 to 12 inches of snow, but this time the weatherman said park on the left side. So Will ran out and parked the car on the left side of the road.

The following week the forecast was for 16 inches of snow expected, then the lights went out and all our power was lost. Will said, my goodness, now I don’t know where to park the car.

Jane said: “Why don’t you just leave it in the garage!”

Mass shootings, racism, the #metoo movement, a misogynistic bigoted narcissist in the White House ... go ahead, add to the list. Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019.  I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
