The White House Night Before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the White House the Impeachment Trial is looming for the lyin’, orange louse.

Don Jr. is saying “No Quid Pro Quo” like the rest.

Melania’s locked in her bedroom, telling everyone Be Best.

Ivanka’s stuffing stockings with her cheap knock-off shoes,

while Rudy’s yelling Biden dirt, with his nose glowing from booze.

Kelly Conway is stoking the flames of hate,

while Eric in his onesie hopes Santa’s not late.

When out on the South Lawn there arose such a clatter,

the Secret Service rushed to see what was the matter.

Taking proper precautions, safety’s always chancy,

House Dems were on the grounds with their leader Nancy.

They held tight in their fists the Impeachment Articles – two,

It’s Donnie’s gift for his behavior.

The Constitutional thing to do.

“Come out of the Oval Office and surrender yourself.

We know of your corruption from the whistleblower - Elf on the Shelf.”

They yelled, shouted and called him by name.

“Come out here crooked Trump. Admit to your shame!”

And then, in a pounding they heard on floor, out came dumb Donald through the balcony door.

His eyes were all puffy, a combover swirled on his head.

“Go away all you traitors, I’ve got Stormy in bed.”

Kentucky fried chicken was stuck in each tooth.

With a half open bathrobe, he’s the model of uncouth.

The moon on his breast, showed his man boobs were sagging.

The Democrats ignored him, though his tongue kept on wagging.

He said he was brilliant.

He has the best mind.

But, Nancy and the House know he’s racist, petty and unkind.

Nancy said, “We came here tonight on this Christmas Eve.

Pack up your office, your family, your cronies and leave.

We call on Pence, Mulvaney, Barr and Bolton,

Get out of DC. You’re all so revoltin’.”

“The country’s in chaos, so do the right thing.

Go back to Trump Tower, and we’ll fumigate the West Wing.”

Donny just glared, they saw the white ‘round his eyes.

“I’m going back in to enjoy my Mickey D’s fries.

His morals are lacking, no crimes he’ll report.

He turned in a jerk and let out a snort.

The Democrats called as he stumbled from sight,

“We’ll see you on trial. Merry Christmas you traitor, have another sleepless night.”

Waking Up in Vegas - Happy 2014!

Neither, Gary or I, are really gamblers, so we try to find other activities to occupy our time when visiting Vegas. We have visited Red Rock, Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire State Park on previous visits. We had even traveled as far as Zion National Park in Utah, during an earlier stay. There are definitely natural beauties to discover while in Nevada, and they have nothing to do with showgirls or stripper poles. This visit was about relaxation and ringing in the New Year, so we didn’t need to stray far from Vegas this time. We bought tickets for a concert featuring Kristin Chenoweth. She is a very talented singer and actress best known from Broadway shows, movies, and multiple guest appearances on GLEE. The concert was on New Year’s Eve at the newly built Smith Center. Although she is about three feet tall, Kristin has a powerhouse voice. She sang songs from her career and, of course, sang one of my favorites “For Good” from WICKED. It was a great way to

Mental Health - Destroy the Stigma

I believe that I am a fearless writer. I share my personal experiences, thoughts and beliefs. I’ve not been afraid to express my emotions. Self-expression is fundamental to writing. I am a man of my words Recently, I became concerned that my blogs about depression and mental health might shape my reader’s opinions of me in a negative way. The more I thought about it, I realized that I had internalized the stigma that surrounds mental health. Stigma is defined as “a mark of disgrace or infamy.” The word bears a negative connotation and it devalues the person to whom the stigma is applied. While the conversation about mental health is receiving a larger forum, damaging misconceptions are widespread. According to surveys, there are between 42.5-46 million adults in the US that have some type of mental illness. Statistics show that one in four adults experience mental illness in a given year. These numbers of individuals are all impacted in some manner by the sti

Summer Adventures Part 2 – The Backyard Backlot to Broadway

My childhood summers weren’t all the glitz and glamor of vacationing with cousins, wobbly shopping carts and bloody feet. Actually, most of my summer days were spent right at home in my yard. My parents never took a vacation. Our family never packed its bags and took off for other ports of call. I never boarded a plane, a boat, or a train for a family adventure. My adventures were self-created. They were products of an imaginative mind that could travel to the moon, ride the rapids in the Amazon Jungle and lead a battle for the Knights of the Round Table, all before a lunch of Spaghettios with a side of Hawaiian Punch . I have always loved going to the movies. This helped provide the inspiration to my over active mind. The Saturday afternoon matinee was a childhood staple for me. The smell of fresh popcorn as you entered the lobby and the crisp cold air of the air-conditioned theater helped set the atmosphere on those hot, summer afternoons. I would get lost in the dark with

Depression, Drugs & DNA

When diagnosed with Clinical Depression, my doctor recommended medication to help the illness. The art of medication management can challenge professionals who need to find the right drug and dosage that will be effective for treatment. It’s frustrating for patients combating the effects of depression when their medication doesn’t quite alleviate the symptoms. Part of this cocktail of drugs can also cause intolerable side effects · Sleepiness · Insomnia · Dizziness · Weight Gain · Headaches · Increased Anxiety · Sexual Problems · Nausea The feeling of hopelessness and frustration is just compounded when you’re waiting for relief that never really arrives. There are so many drugs available for the treatment of depression. It can be daunting to find the right one for you. I feel that I have taken the PDR of depression medications. There’s always been the chase for the one that would tu

Communication - The Art of Words

I read a posting, a few weeks ago, that the song “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode was celebrating its 25 th anniversary. The song, released in 1990, speaks of how you can be beyond words. It relays the message that there are times when words can’t describe feelings or emotions and seem inconsequential. I do understand when people say that something is “indescribable.” We all have moments when we just want silence and time to appreciate the world beyond words. A feeling or an emotion can be hard to verbalize at times, but are we ever beyond words? We have to realize that if we want a space of non-communication we have to communicate that. We can’t “Enjoy the Silence” unless we can tell everyone we want silence. For people to know we are at a loss for words, we have to tell them that. Everything we say and do lies in communication. We could not function as a community or a society without it. We don’t stop to contemplate that our whole world is created fro
