I keep wanting to refer to Donald Trump’s Florida home as “Mar-Iago.”
But I’m afraid that only theater nerds would get the joke.

Following the FBI raid last night of his Mar-a-Lago home, Trump and his allies are claiming he is a victim of “the weaponization of the justice system” and “political persecution.”
Recall, please, that this man launched his first presidential bid with the ubiquitous slogan “lock her up.” He simply wished to have his opponent imprisoned.
It was an early red flag that he was … y’know, fucking insane. And an aspiring tyrant.
Also? FBI Director Christopher Wray was a Trump nominee. He is a Republican.

The Piker Press today published my humorous nature poem, “An Ode to a Would-Be Swimmin’ Skink!” For those of you who are uninitiated, a skink is a little lightning-quick iridescent lizard common in the Southern United States.) And they even ran the photo I submitted with the poem! (I snapped a shot of the little fella off Shenandoah Avenue here in Roanoke, VA.)
You can find the poem and the photo right here. Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful community of readers, writers and artists.
Happy Monday! 🙂


I’m not sure how you arrived at that decision, but I wish you all luck with it. Even if you are getting too old for me.

My breakfast this morning was in the shape of a FedEx delivery driver. I have no idea why this occurred.
Look at him in his little brimmed cap!
