This spring day, I think it’s time to share some irreverence. We survived April Fool’s, but it’s still April, right?
- If you blog on WordPress and haven’t heard of Mikalee Berman, then you haven’t been paying attention. She’s one of the funniest, most irreverent and yet insightful writers I’ve read in a while. You’re sure to enjoy her Peep edition post: How My Marriage Ended with a Brick: Peep Edition.
- In reading her posts, I also found a good set of rules for any man who wants to actually BE a man, written by one of her more irreverent readers.
- Walk the Prank: There’s a great story in the Wall Street Journal about the portrait of “Ensign Chuck Hord” that used to hang in the Pentagon. According to the plaque on the portrait, Hord was lost at sea in 1908. There is, of course, more to the story. Thanks to Dale Wilson for posting this in the Military History and Strategy group on Linked In.

We're not lost, Sergeant, We're in ... France 
Thanks, David, for the ‘shout-out!!’
By the way, April is still ‘fooling,’ even though it is near over. 2/3rds of Pennsylvania is seeing in upwards of 18+ inches of snow. We’re safe here in the eastern part; just cold and windy. Mother Nature does have a knack for practical jokes.

I think irreverence is always a good thing — springtime or otherwise. But then, that’s just me…
😉
I hope the weather is awesome where you are; today it’s 90 degrees here, and it was just snowing LAST WEEK! Bizarre to say the least…
Comment by Mikalee Byerman 22 April 2012 @ 17:57The weather here has been simply wacky – never know whether to pull on a t-shirt and shorts or my winter coat to walk the dog. You both write so well, I had to let both of my readers know.
