I finally achieved my big goal for 2020: Just Being Funny is syndicated and now reaching thousands of readers! Sadly the world is on fire, and I’m not really in a celebratory mood.
As a public figure of sorts, I guess I should make a statement.
Black Lives Matter.
That’s it. That’s the statement.
Here are some funny thoughts I slapped together while the world was burning. FYI, I write these months in advance because I’m an overachiever.
For the curious, I queried over 100 Caribbean publications. Syndication is an accomplishment to celebrate. Many thanks to my editors, Darlene, Ian, and Xavier.
