(Or Wednesday. Whatever. I’m retired; I don’t have to know that stuff anymore.) Well, then, we’re making progress! This sequence in Pros and Cons (KFS) cracked me up in large part because I only dipped a toe into therapy during our divorce, and that had more to do with setting up visitation and so forth. […]
(Steve Breen – Creators) (Matt Weurker – Politico) While Steve and Matt work this one out, we will eschew (and esspit out) politics for the day.

I wasn’t planning to run any more Veteran’s Day rain strips, but this L’il Donnie ought not to go unremarked. There have been several strips on the topic, but, as I predicted the other day, even the ones that are above average already feel stale. The outrage was Saturday and, while I noted the barriers […]
