In the year 2025, staring contests aren’t hard because you can’t blink. They’re hard because you can’t look at your phone

To learn more about the succession plan for an elderly Christian leader, see either Conclave (2024) or The Santa Clause (1994).

There’s nothing sadder than a self-published self-help book.

"I'm alive!" said Gatsby, roaring past on a speedboat. He'd faked his own death and gotten away with everything. That's why they called him the Great Gatsby. "Out of the way, current!" he yelled at the water. "This speedboat is bearing me ceaselessly into the future!"

Forgive Me, I Ran a Charity 5K but Didn’t Cure Any Diseases After my performance last Saturday, I cannot in good conscience accept this participation ribbon.

Laughter is the best medicine, but it won’t cure the fake disease I made up for my latest piece in @pointsincase.com

Be sure to reach out and tell them (very slowly) you care.
