A cursory Christmas tale of a reviled parsimonious old man who recanted

While not helping any of the children with their homework this week, I realized that I was pretty lost on most of the words in their vocabulary list.

And while I was definitely not helping them, I looked up several of the definitions and found that many of them seemed to fit with a familiar story. So, in order to help improve my vocabulary and hopefully get an A on some English homework, I present to you this classic Christmas story filled with the words in bold from two recent high school vocabulary lists.

There’s no need for the top sheet! Or tiny bowls!

Like many people, I sleep nearly every day.

And as someone who sleeps, I never really questioned the sheets that were on my bed. I always assumed that I needed the fitted sheet and the top sheet, and that was that.

The best Donald Trump facts column out there. Really, it’s great, super. Probably the best writing ever. Amazing work by me.

Now that Donald Trump is about to become our next President, I thought it was important to learn a little more about him.

This does not deal with politics, as I am fairly confident that he reads this blog and I do not want to be audited or have my domain name somehow shifted to a new online casino, even though it would undoubtedly be the best online casino ever.

The internet is filled with facts about our soon-to-be-president, here are a few I found interesting:  Continue reading “The best Donald Trump facts column out there. Really, it’s great, super. Probably the best writing ever. Amazing work by me.”

The end of the election season brings up new questions and my lunch

The world has changed a great deal since the 2016 Presidential Campaign started back in 2014, but soon life will be getting back to normal.

Now that the election season is (hopefully) pretty much over, though, I wonder what we are all supposed to do with our time now? What should we do instead of worrying about how bad things will be if our candidate doesn’t win?

Top Five Things Other People Can Do With Their Bodies That I Wish I Could Do

My body works reasonably well, but I have always been a little jealous of people who seem to have special abilities. I’m not saying they are X-Men or anything like that, but they are able to do things with their bodies that I cannot do and I usually have now idea how they do it.
