Weekend Reading
The recent three-day weekend bonanza continues with MLK day on Monday. I'm not sure if I'll be revisiting the keyboard until next week, but there is a good chance that I will be posting at least one piece that I have been kicking around between now and Tuesday. Return at your leisure (and for the record, whenever I say "leisure" it is with the proper British pronunciation, with a soft vowel sound.)
In the meantime, if the news has got you feeling half as distraught as me (or Praktike apparently), then you might be in need of some comic relief. Some suggestions:
Oyster at The Right Hand Thief says take two of these and call me in the morning offering a couple of true tales inspired by his adventures in parentdom. This is pure comedy, and this was nominated for funniest post in the Koufaxes for good reason. I laughed so hard I'm pretty sure some office mates who had been harboring doubts about my sanity thought their suspicions were confirmed. Thanks Oyster. If I get fired, I know where to come for a free lunch (jambalaya please). In the meantime, throw a vote his way. He might just earn a spot in the TIA administration yet.
RJ Eskow at Night Light is his usual self - and we're all the better for it. This guy is good, on a consistent basis. If it wasn't clear that TIA was more deserving of wider recognition, Night Light might merit a vote or two. But before you get all carried away, the operative word in that sentence was "if." What do you think this is, a charity.
Enjoy. See you on Tuesday or sooner...
