Practice Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving and Hanukkah comic stripBecause I Said So celebrates both Thanksgiving and Hanukkah – even though Hanukkah is misspelled but there are so many spellings so who cares – with our 110th comic strip. Michael Voogd, the BISS illustrator, added the words “Practice Thanksgiving” and I think it was a brilliant “stroke.” Yes, we should all “Practice Thanksgiving” every day of the year. Also, this is the last time for another 70,000 years that Hanukkah will actually fall – for a full day – on Thanksgiving Day. Bet you didn’t know that!?

Men vs. Women – Cleaning

Men and Cleaning

Perhaps one of the most enjoyable aspects of doing this series of columns is ruffling feathers and reflecting – often with humor – on my own life and wife. Since my wife rarely reads my columns, I can write whatever I want with relative impunity. Of course, I’m ALWAYS writing the exact truth. It’s never slanted or biased from my male point-of-view. I’m the objective journalist with this series.

I also have swampland for sale if you’re interested?

What a coincidence that I’m going on a cruise while Dad has begun his! I think I can have fun writing about some of Dad’s experiences while imagining some of mine!? After all, I’m NOT That Dad!

White Christmas by The Sallan Boys

This is the Sallan boys singing along to the great Drifters Fifties version of White Christmas back about a decade ago when they were VERY little and not very cooperative.  I had a sore throat, but we still had a bunch of fun doing it!  We all still enjoy listening to it a lot.  These are the memories you keep forever! Enjoy, laugh, and sing-a-long with us!
