Kate rammed a full stick of butter up the turkey’s ass, followed by a generous load of apple wedges, peeled oranges and lemons. Sea salt and pepper coated the carcass as the oven preheated. From within her framed photograph, Patti Smith seemed to approve as we assembled an honest to God feast.
It was a Turkey [...]
Good Times

JD,
Dirted again. They rejected my visit because I have a driver’s license different than the state where I live. I can appeal to the warden and explain that I split my time between the two states, but I wont have to. I know I’ll get accepted next time because I’m leaving California. Gonna do the [...]

Quite a night for America. Not just because the guy’s black. He just seems smart, cool and innovative. [...]

Daylight savings. When you push the clock back you aren’t saving that exta hour. It’s not like you can use it next Tuesday. You’re gaining one extra clock hour, for one day, to use at your discretion.
Most will sleep it away. I chose to rise before the sun and write about not using my extra minutes for that purpose. [...]
