An oldie but a goodie is this golf-themed version of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening:"

That last entry reminded me of Watterson's version of "Goldilocks and the Three Tigers";

see: https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1986/12/07

P.S. I really do like Joanne's addendum that "Goldilocks was 'just right'."

P.P.S. Iring Fetscher once commented on the Wicked Witch's questionable taste in children, noting that Gretel would obviously have been more tender (and 'saftig') than Hänsel.

As noted, Pat Robertson has (fortunately) gone to a better place. But of course he has left us with so many pearls of wisdom, like:

"(T)he feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

And then there's:

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."

Buh-bye Rev.

This just in!! The Department of Justice, citing extenuating circumstances, has requested that Donald Trump be tried as an adult.

It may have escaped notice here, but in a landbark decision today, SCOTUS ruled against a poop-themed dog chew toy in a trademark infringement case. You have been warned.

The bed news is that the air quality is Code Maroon in the DC area for the first time . The good news is that with Pat Robertson now gone, the air quality should improve soon.

Unless you know more than what's in that obit, I don't think it's right to speculate like that in writing.
