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!”

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin.  Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
