This almost makes me feel young again.

With our twenty-year reunion coming up this weekend, I’ve been thinking back about high school more than usual. Along with those memories came a familiar feeling I haven’t experienced in years—raw, painful, deep beneath the surface. That’s right—I am getting a zit. Not just any zit. It is right smack on the tip of my nose, as though it’s been lying in wait since Clinton was president for the most opportune moment to rear its ugly white head.

Some of you may think you’re bringing back the ‘80s with your leather fringe and Aquanet. As for me, I do nothing half ass.

It ain’t over yet

Let’s get one thing straight, people. The autumn equinox doesn’t happen until 9:04 tomorrow morning. That means it’s still summer. Got it? SUMMER. Until then, I don’t want to see your scarecrows. I’ll smash your pumpkins. I’ll stomp on your mums. Don’t even think of asking my kids what they’re going to be for Halloween. And if I catch you making turkeys out of their handprints before November, I’ll go after you with my rake.
