Festivus (for the rest of us) is celebrated on November 23 and was made popular through an episode of Seinfeld. Festivus was conceived by writer Dan O’Keefe and was celebrated by his family as…
Day 169: Monkey
Tomorrow I will begin the first of twelve days of Christmas themes to mark the journey to Christmas Day.

Tonight I have been invited to two parties, one being Black theme, the other being White theme. They are both at the same house. The concept is that you choose which to dress as, but I say, why choose when you can be both? and who is both Black and White? Michael Jackson of course….
