I was looking through my stats this morning and decided to check out the search terms that have brought people to my blog. Some of it is very interesting and due to the nature of my blog, most of those terms are harmless e.g. “Nick Vujicic quotes”, “Bethany Hamilton” and even “Don Charisma”. I have blogged about each of these people so it stands to reason. There are search terms relating to the book review that I did last year and some that are outrageously funny that I have no idea why my blog would even come up such as “You suck stinker yahoo”, “vertically challenged” and my all time favourite “If you fail a high school course”.

However this morning, there were three separate search terms that rang alarm bells with me and they were all about tween selfies. I put those terms into google and came up with…

It has been quiet at The House on the Hill, which made it the perfect day to get some writing done.  There have been several writing projects rattling around inside my head, but I’ve had trouble deciding which one to tackle.

Luckily, today’s email brought me the answer.  Dan Cashman, the host of The Nite Show (Maine’s own late night talk show), sent out a list of topics and requested monologue jokes for the shows that are going to be taped this week.

I gave the list a quick glance when I came inside from shoveling, and vowed to work on some jokes after I’d taken a shower and had something to eat.

Before I could make it into the bathroom for my shower, I had already written two jokes.  What can I say?  I’m a writer at heart, as evidenced by the above photo of me as a poorly…

The sun’s golden orb slipped slowly from the sky

Down behind the far mountains

Shrouded in mist

Changing colour from white to yellow

Vibrant orange appeared like a painters brush

Swept across the skies

Only to change to a vermillion swirl

Deepening to violet

As the sun finally slipped behind the mountain

Leaving a glowing coronet around its head

Sky chasing the sun

Hues blending together to form a deep dreamless dark

So dark it appears black and not blue

Such a wonderful calming hue

Yet on the far horizon a change is seen

A mellow gleam rises it seems from the ocean

Rising majestically

Its white gold hue with shades of gold

That appears there too

Marking the march of time

Until the hour finally arrives

Clothes hidden beneath the stairs

Social security is in trouble for two big main reasons.

First, because politicians keep dipping their fingers into it to improve their corrupting Port Belly home improvements.

Also

Thanks to the many changes able to be made in our workforce by big business, thanks to our politicians and the beating up on the unions.

Social security was put in place to supplement workers earnings not to be a retirement paycheck?

My battle cry was, is and will always be, thanks to a big smile from a Hollywood actor acting at his best, because that is what he did best and that is all he did was act.

Many things changed in this country to Small Business owners, the middle-class and our poor and none of it was good!

The only accomplishment to his credit is an old decrepit wall that had been crumbling for centuries, by telling the Russian government…
