I chuckled this AM as I read some of yesterday's and today's newspapers. Two articles about Kerry Bentivolio included the by-now-obligatory "reindeer farmer." Is there something wrong with being a "reindeer farmer?" The guy trains reindeer to pull sleighs in Chris parades. He dresses up as Santa for kids at Chris time. Is there anything worse about being a "reindeer farmer" than, say, a "school psychologist" or "career politician?" How about a journalist who obfuscates the truth? Both the media and Republican Party leadership obviously don't want this guy. Based on this alone, maybe he's worth a vote!
I also chuckled at this, in a letter-to-the-editor this AM. "Republicans are only pursuing their self-interested agenda...." Well, no kidding. The rest of the tenor of the letter suggests that the Reps are the only ones who do this. Is this guy sane? Do we let him vote? C'mon, does this guy really think Dems don't do the same thing? He can't be that dumb.
I wonder if crossword puzzle creators collaborate. It seems as if an unusual clue shows up from out of nowhere in one puzzle, within days it also appears in other ones--other crosswords by other creators in other newspapers. Hmmmmm...... A question for after the war.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
