Friends! vs. friends
I have two friends who are like brothers, but not like a brother who gives you a kidney punch as he walks by. They are like brothers who would donate a kidney to me if I needed one. Those are Friends!
But my Friends! don’t live in my town, so I have developed friends that live in my town. I want to be clear. They are not Friends! They are only friends. Here’s the difference …
I think if I was a robin, I would be very lazy. No way would I dig my beak in the ground for worms. There are usually enough worms committing suicide by trying to crawl across sidewalks or driveways. I’d eat those worms. At least they would be cleaner.

New Music for Old Rockers – Smith & Thell Edition
There has been a lot of good new music released recently. I just haven’t been captivated by any of it to write about it. For example, I was excited to hear that the Lumineers dropped a new song called Gloria a couple days ago. Take a listen.
I like it, but … it sounds exactly like I would expect a new Lumineers song should sound. That’s not a bad thing. It makes my toes tap. It just doesn’t excite me. Does that make any sense?
Instead, I went all the way to Sweden to be able to introduce you to Maria Jane Smith and Victor Thell, who coincidentally are in a band called Smith & Thell. What are the odds? Take a listen to their song called Forgive Me Friend that got my musical antennae waving.

Mite Be Funny #111 – Spring Cleaning Special Edition
My wife asked me if I would still love her if she stuttered. Of course I answered affirmatively, although I told her that we may be texting more than talking.
Mail Call
I not only get Likes, Comments, and Retweets, but I also get mail. Here’s page 1 of what was left in my mailbox this week. I felt so ‘Mueller reportish’ as I redacted names after I confirmed that the person who sent this actually exists at the address they listed.
After an initial reading, I was unclear if this person is alt-right or alt-left. I reread and still have no clue. They do mention the 2nd Amendment on Page 1, but not in a ‘for or against’ way. Maybe just alt-crazy? Of course, I could not resist adding my own comments in red and in white over some redactions.
Page 1 follows:
2 more pages to go. Here’s Page 2, definitely hand-written by the person who signed this.
Winnowing the Candidates – 2 for 1 Edition
I have been really lax on this recurring feature. I can’t afford to be. Candidates are streaming into the Democratic primary race. So let’s get you up to speed with a quick recap.
- I booted Mayor Pete from the race. I am so sorry I did that. He’s become one of my favorite candidates in the early going, although I’m not quite locked in on him yet.
- So I reinstated Mayor Pete, and …
- I bounced John Hickenlooper instead. Who? Exactly.
There may be less serious candidates to shed, but I feel I need to painfully rip a 2016 scab off now that has never fully healed. This candidate cannot be the Democratic candidate in 2020. I will not allow it.

Comfort Tweet
Is it crazy that I get worried that Trump hasn’t tweeted in over 18 hours? You know he’s up. You know he’s been watching Fox & Friends. Why no tweets? It makes me worried when he doesn’t tweet, like he is dealing with an actual national security issue. With his dissolving brain, that is cause for concern.
Okay, this is turning into live-blogging. As I type this post, Trump tweeted this …
Ah, that’s better. There is something comforting to me about Trump getting back to tweeting and wasting his time rather than potentially governing. This country is really messed up.

Cheesey Post
I did nazi how racist and xenophobic this cheese was before we purchased it.
Family Hysterical History – The Parents
Yesterday, I introduced you to stories from the childhood of my grandmother and her siblings, my great aunts and uncles. For today, I threatened promised stories of the parents, my great grandmother and great grandfather. I am making good on that threat promise, so here we go. First up is a story of how my family history is similar to the Trump family in one special way.
Family Hysterical History – The Kids
My oldest daughter has been working on the family genealogy, so she was thrilled when I stumbled across my paternal grandmother’s family history from the late 1800’s to 1975. I had no idea what a treasure trove of odd, humorous tidbits it would contain. Here we go with some memories from the 10 kids, who would be siblings of my grandmother who was already deceased at the time this history was written.
I just offered you a cartoon about mite cannibalism yesterday. How about we start today’s post with a story about chicken cannibalism?

Am I an April Fool?
I had dinner scheduled with a couple friends on April Fools’ Day. I had planned to prank them by not showing up for the dinner. But now I get word from them that we need to reschedule because one of them has a conflict. Are they trying to prank me into thinking that they are not going to dinner, but actually are? Will I get an “April fool” call from them while they are having dessert somewhere after a hearty meal without me? Should I play along like I won’t be going to the dinner, drive around to restaurant after restaurant until I find them, and then give them one of these?
Or should I expose their ruse now, force them to admit they are still going to dinner, and then not show up in order to prank them? Or should I tell them that I have an incurable disease, only to reveal 10 years from now that it was an April Fools’ Day prank? That’s kind of playing the long game, but at this point, I’m so confused that I’m just spitballing ideas now.
Never make plans for April Fools’ Day.
Auto Envy
No, that title does not mean I’m talking about automatic envy, but automobile envy, although I do automatically envy my wife’s auto. I admit that I covet my wife’s car, despite it being the same model as mine and just 1 year newer. I even did the work to find the best deal so we could afford it for her. Can you guess which is my wife’s?
Give up? Her car is the pretty blue one on the left. By the way, we don’t own them. We lease. We haven’t been able to afford to buy a new vehicle ever since the Yugo ceased production.
I could deal with my wife having a nice color car. I want nice things for her. I want her to have a nice color car, a nice comfortable life, a nice husband. I’m still working on those last two, but at least I got the car color one right. So there was no coveting until I looked inside. Because of this, I want her car …
It was nice to discover today that when I really put my mind to it, and make a strong commitment to greatness, I can still eat a whole box of cookies in one sitting.
Monopolizing the Table
A while back, I broke the good news that my ten year old daughter was taking over handling the Monopoly game from our local grocery store. Let’s check-in and have a quick peek at how that’s going …
