How to Be an Author: RESEARCH IS AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT
For many of us, our first writing assignment came in the form of a book report. Teachers used these reports as a way to accomplish several lessons without revealing to their unsuspecting students that they were learning a complex process. First, the report required a title. In going over the parts of the book, the teacher pointed out that the title of the book was found on the title page. Some of the more inquisitive students noticed the title also appeared on the book jacket and in a few instances on the cover of the book. When the student advanced to paperbacks, the book jacket disappeared and the title magically…

For Your Amusement: TO MASK OR NOT TO MASK–THAT IS THE QUESTION
Last Friday, THE DJT told Michael C. Bender of The Wall Street Journal that some Americans wear masks to show they disapprove of him not to stop the spread of Covid-19. This latest revelation by THE DJT shows how once again it’s about him. Earlier sources inside his administration circulated the idea the Chinese developed Covid-19 in a lab and released it to attack the United States to make THE DJT look bad. The next day at what THE DJT termed, “the rally of the century,” most of the nearly seven thousand supporters did not wear the masks his campaign provided. They answered the often asked question of whether they…

For Your Amusement: IT’S THE WHO
“It’s The Who!” declared THE DJT. No, he’s not referring to the one Horton hears, or the rock band. He’s talking about the World Health Organization. “They listened to China instead of me. So, now I’m suspending their funding until we investigate.” He went on to tell us how he saved us by suspending flights from China to the USA. At the same time, the fake news reminds us he was praising China and President Xi for “being transparent.” Many of THE DJT’s supporters quickly endorsed the president’s bold move. “There’s too many leftist doctors in that organization,” one contributor to the re-election campaign said. “If they want to help…

How to Be an Author: FLOW
Anyone can write. During my thirty years in the teaching profession, one of the most obnoxious remarks I heard from various sources was, “Anyone can teach.” Right, and anyone can sing, draw, paint, dance, throw, catch, fix, repair, assess, analyze, evaluate, follow, lead, describe, prescribe, inscribe, insert, invest, invent, prevent, predict, presume, consume, conspire and concede that anyone can write. One of the few positive outcomes from the scourge we are currently experiencing, Coronavirus or COVID-19, comes as the result of schools closing and millions of children being at home with their parents, who for one reason or another find themselves at home. The task of teaching a child or…

For Your Amusement: THE FOOL ON THE HILL
Day after DayAlone on a HillThe man with the Foolish Grin is Keeping Perfectly Still After a rise in the number of cases of COVID-19 in the states, and more importantly a similar drop in the stock market and poll numbers for THE DJT, the President determined the outbreak may not be a hoax. Earlier this week, he went on TV and announced due to his superior strategy of cutting off travel to China, Americans were at less risk than the rest of the world. But Nobody wants to Know HimThey can see that he’s just a FoolAnd He never gives an Answer Then, he promptly announced a thirty day…
