Dear Government,

Butt out of my life. I am an adult and am capable of thinking for myself. You do not need to do my thinking and deciding for me.

Also, it's my money. I earned it. Go earn your own. And quit borrowing from China.

Sincerely,
Me

Happy Wednesday (with a capital "W")!

Oh, boy. Here we go again. 'Tis the season, eh? Christmas begins with a capital "C", yes. As does Chanukah, unless you spell it Hanukkah, in which case it begins with a capital "H". And Kwanzaa begins with a capital "K". And Solstice, when celebrated as a holiday, starts with a capital "S" unless you call it Yule which starts with a capital "Y". New Year's Eve/Day starts with capital "N", "Y", "E" and/or "D". Even the Islamic New Year starts with capitals "I", "N" & "Y". Now ... my birthday still starts with a lower case "b" but I'm thinking of changing that just because the whole upset over whose holiday trumps whose is silly ... with a capital "S". Quite honestly, one really can't have too much to celebrate. Life is full of opportunities to celebrate so why not acknowledge them all? That said ...

HAPPY WINTER HOLIDAY/UPS SEASON TO ALL (as in to EVERYBODY)
