What a day. Sean Spicy Spicy Spicer took his podium of lies and headed back to his sandbox. I will miss the Spicemaster General. Let’s remember the good old days instead of dwelling on the negative. Sean Spicer was the best White House Press Secretary ever PERIOD! He told the most truths PERIOD!
Hangman Mueller is walking around 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in a black hooded robe and carrying a scythe. Mueller has asked the WH staff to preserve all records related to Don-Fredo Jr. If I were Don-Fredo, I would not get in any boats near Lake Tahoe. Turns out the lawyer who Don Jr met with to talk about “adoption” worked for the KGB before. Adoption keeps coming up in discussions about Russia. Is Russian trying to adopt the USA? I’m not okay with a stepdad like Putin. My current country-dad is a total jerk, but at least he harmlessly watches tv all day and eats chocolate cake.
My favorite racist gnome, Jeffro Bowdeen Sessions, forgot that he met with the Russian Ambassador before the election. Jeffro’s brain must not work that well. He has forgotten so many Russian meetings that I’m beginning to believe he has that disease that causes people to have face blindness. If the reports are true then Sessions has perjured himself. Time to buy a tiny gnome-like prison cell.
THE KUSH forgot 77 things to declare on his paperwork worth over 100 million dollars. (At least he doesn’t have 99 problems like Jay Z. THE KUSH might have a problem in the one area in which Jay Z has none.) How does someone who has a brain that cannot remember anything make a $100 million? THE KUSH needs to start watching prison movies to prepare himself for the next twenty years. Unless…President Agent Orange pardons him.
The only crime I want a pardon from is souvlaki rage.
Why is my page titled South of the Strait? Well I live in a far corner of the United States. I live in a small town south of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. If I was going to throw a rock across the strait it would land in Canada. I used to be an English teacher. I have worked in Westport, Port Angeles, and Sequim, Washington... and I did two years of substitute teaching in Coalinga, California.
I've moved around a lot, living in: Sterling,Kansas; Chicago; Jordan, Montana; Lemoore, California; Auckland, New Zealand; Spokane, Washington; Gambier, Ohio.
What do I write? For WordPress I used to print once a week for general comments. I wrote reviews of music concerts my daughter made me attend. (Each month she would want us to drive to Seattle to see a music group. I usually stood in the back watching weird stuff.) I also wrote about trips I have taken in Europe where I liked getting lost. I also wrote during the few months when my son was treated for cancer. (He is officially free of cancer of five years.) About three years ago I decided to stop writing blogs so I could concentrate on writing a few books. I have completed three books...or maybe four. I have now compiled my short stories poems and memoirs on Amazon. You can get it at Amazon now..."A Work In Progress"--Jon Eekhoff. I have been very close to getting a printed book called "Lost Summer" but I was never offered $1,000,000.00. (It's set in Paris, 1920's, with baseball, writers, artist, and actually true stuff.) I wrote a book about college basketball called "Laidlaw." It's kind of a mix of "Moby Dick" and a coach who is about to get fired so he takes his team out for a free drive around the West. My most recent book is "California Tales." These are connected stories about the missionary churches in California. They are sad, funny, inspiring, and odd. I had the entire book done in my head and had just one section to finish the next day...and that is when I fell 20 feet from my roof and landed on the cement. (Like a lot of men, I thought I could maintain my own roof instead of leaving it to the professionals.) I don't remember anything about my accident but I am told I was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Though conscious and responsive after surgery to remove part of my skull, I don't remember anything from my first month there. I spent another month of Harborview working on walking, speaking, and writing. That was two years ago. As a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) survivor, I could have quit writing, but I am not going to quit. I work with the University of Washington Speech and Hearing Clinic.
So, here I am. I am married and live here in Sequim with my wife Cheryl. Our kids live in nearby cities. Writing is now an exhausting exercise, but something I plan to keep working on.
