Elections

Tomorrow is the day so many of us put aside the fact that our politicians and would-be politicians are the scum of the country, and we hurry to the polls to vote for one or the other of them. Count me out; I have to be able to look at the guy in the mirror. Pardon me now as I go out for a quick puke at the mere thought of it all . . .

Just stay home like yours truly and do the planet a favor by saving some gas. Urp.

Beautiful gesture by my nephew

Whenever my nephew or his brother and sister would do some small favor for their grandfather (my father), Dad would always insist on giving them a dollar or two for their effort, telling them he wanted to be sure they had a little "mad money."

Dad recently passed away. When he was on view for visitation by his many friends and family members, my nephew folded a dollar bill up and placed it over the handkerchief in Dad's pocket, just so his grandfather would eternally have a little "mad money" in Heaven.

Rest in peace, Dad. We all love you and miss you.
