  • Robert Benchley Gives Us Humor in the Garden - as a Spectator Sport.

    Robert Benchley Gives Us Humor in the Garden - as a Spectator Sport.
    2024/06/21
    Robert Benchley, James Thurber, Dorothy Parker, E.B. White. All names I associate with old school writing - but also breakthrough humor. I don't know that ascerbic wit was ever more prevalent than in NYC in the 1920's.

    Please enjoy, on this rainy Friday in Vermont, this essay by Robert Benchley. My recent outing to the Algonquin Hotel in New York made me feel right at home and I've been having a wonderful start to summer going through essays from that time. Here is one of my favorites. I've been spending a lot of time in the garden lately and I feel a lot like the guy who is doing the work in this particular scenario - but I aspire to be the guy over the fence!

    There are pics from our night at the Algonquin at mishkennedy.com. There is also a new section for the podcast - and we will be doing an episode by episode guide very soon.

  • Mothers Who Sell - My life selling credit cards back to people who gave them up

    Mothers Who Sell - My life selling credit cards back to people who gave them up
    2024/06/20
    A little humor for a Thursday evening...Episode 15 is out!

    "I was God. I fixed it all. I rearranged payments. I moved around due dates. I promised to put notations in their file saying "don't call at 5 p.m." I didn't, but I promised I would.I racked up the most numbers sold on the hardest lists. I got three promotions in three months and a raise with each. I could strut with pride in my former bar as I ordered drinks and bragged about my newfound wealth and profession."

    Here is the link to the original published essay. The graphic is from 2001 and is kind of disturbing. Be warned!

  • A Homemade Miscarriage and a Near Death Experience

    A Homemade Miscarriage and a Near Death Experience
    2024/06/19
    This is a tough topic for me to talk about but it is my own abortion story. I have had miscarriages before, including one where I lost a 20 week old baby that I wanted very much. But this occurred many years later when my body was no longer able to handle the stresses of pregnancy and another pregnancy almost cost me my life.

    More than this episode being about this strange part of my life - it's also about the fact that everyone has a story. Everyone comes to the party with a different bag of chips. Sometimes, it's really important to check out and try what people bring to the party so that you can understand that not everyone has the same tastes...or same experiences.

    Everyone has a story.
