Hi Friends. Happy St. Valentine’s Day Eve! It occurred to me just now that I could turn my nonexistent honey-do-person into a real honey. Especially since that would let me still live alone — which I really like. All I had to do was to follow the Donald Trump formula. Say the honey-doer exists. Say it again about 272 times, then believe it.
Simple. So why is that lazy clock of mine, still laying around on a chair? Did my fantasy honey-doer forget to change the porch lightbulb that was installed by a long-ago sadistic builder? And I just felt my stove in a vague hope that the pretend helper cooked my favorite meal. Nada. That is just plain rude of the fantasy dude, don’t you think?
Maybe if I tried harder. I would describe my clock as part of a new vogue decor idea, tell myself I prefer dark porch steps to the lighted ones — kind of like my chocolate preferences. And I could decide to fast on the 14th of every month.
Did it work? Nope. The trouble is I know what is fantasy and what is not, much like you all. What Trump and those of his ilk are doing is called “insanity.” Now, all we have to do is figure out why his followers prefer insanity to sanity.
Some other time. Now let’s laugh!
