Ha Ha.  

It's been over two years since I've posted.  I'm not writing at all, anywhere, except in my head sometimes.  When I think about it, I feel embarrassed.  

I seem only to respond to shame.  So here I am, publicly shaming myself. 

I have given myself an assignment: Write 101 short pieces inspired by my favourite book from childhood.  I hope to get through three in a week.  Very. Short.  Pieces.  Observations, really.  Anything to feel like I have some sort of forward momentum.  

An elephant joke is, basically, an absurd joke involving an elephant.  The book pictured above was compiled by a 14 year old in the 60s, at the height of the elephant joke's popularity.  Not terribly sophisticated stuff.  No matter, I love these jokes.  There are a few that still make me laugh very hard when I think about them, even 30 years on.

Stay tuned.
