It’s the most wonderful time of year! It’s like Christmas Eve! I can’t wait until the campaign ads kick into full force and we’re treated to hours upon hours of slanderous, factually inaccurate promises, accusations, and demands! I’d better pick up a new LG 3D 1080p LED TV with Smart TV to make sure I […]

One was Jim’s Kelty Redwing 44 Internal Frame Backpack that had been his father’s and grandfather’s. The other was Della’s vacuum. Della had only one dollar and eighty-seven cents, and tomorrow was Christmas-Day. One dollar and eighty-seven cents to buy Jim a present.

“Can you believe,” Sylvia told Nestoras, “I’ve never once been in your apartment?” Nestoras nodded a little self-consciously. She’d seen him in just an undershirt a million times in the hall, but now that she was standing here in his apartment, he felt so much more awkward. “Anyway, I didn’t mean to interrupt your cleaning.

Amanda sat on the floor, near the JJ Cole Crib Bedding Set, with her weight shifted towards the door. Michelle rolled her eyes. “It’s not a snake, Amanda. It’s just a reversible bumper.

Mrs. Grover, I appreciate you taking your free period to address my work in art class, but I fear your use of the word “sloppy” betrays a failure of yours more than it does one of mine. Don’t get me wrong; I understand that typically third grade might be a time when you’d expect to […]

Thank you. I’m looking forward to a nice relaxing vacation. “Whoa whoa whoa. ‘Fraid not, pardner. This ain’t no dude ranch, it’s a working vineyard.” Oh, I thought it was a ranch, but wine sounds nice, too! “That’s right, Healdsburg has some of the rootinest, tootinest livestock this side of Sonoma.” But you just said […]

“Preston, I’m so happy you finally got the Klipsch speaker system you always wanted. It looks great how you’ve got it installed here in your den. And listen, I know we’ve been having a hard time, but I just want to say that I love you and –“ *Music plays* “Please don’t turn up the […]

Sometimes you just need some space, you know? Don’t get me wrong: I love my wife. We’ve been living in the same tent together for 30 years and it feels like every day I find something new to love about her. But after a hard day of work digging for grubs and setting snares, I […]

Nestoras was taking the Reston Lloyd PrepCo Bake Porter 6-Cup Jumbo Muffin Pan out of the oven when the oven mitt slipped and he singed his hand on the edge. He instinctively retracted, and the perfectly baked carrot cake muffins tumbled to the ground. He was going to surprise Sylvia with the sweet treats and […]
