President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Salad Hair Lord Dampnut Dumpster Fire and Furher Von Trumplestillskin Von Trumpenstein Von Jenius went to the National Championship game to watch Alabama play Georgia. He kicked off the party by walking out on the field for the national anthem. Then while the national anthem was playing he mouthed words to a song that wasn’t the national anthem. (I’m sure the internet has already put out a video of the song he was really singing.) Who knew the words to the national anthem were so big and so hard? Who knew? So… this sacred song that nobody should be protesting by kneeling, is a song you don’t know the words to? Is there anything this guy knows? Anything? Oh, and one of the Alabama players shouted, “F— Trump.” That’s not nice.
The good news is that Trumplestillskin will be able to gather himself this morning with his “executive time.” Which is the time when he should be at work but is upstairs watching Faux and Friendz and then tweeting about what he sees. This man has more information at his fingertips than any other human… and he watches Faux and Friendz. Why not watch Sesame Street? At least Sesame Street would teach him to be nice to other people.
Showing that it isn’t just the Trumpenstein men who are morons, Ivanka tweeted out that Oprah’s Golden Globe speech was super-fantastic. Remember this speech was about women standing up to sexual harassment and ending the cycle of powerful men getting away with it. Her brother Don-Fredo has said that if women can’t handle a little sexual harassment, they should get a different job. Her father has 19 women accusing him of sexual assault. He is on tape saying he grabs women because he can. Maybe it is time to close all the Trump Twitter accounts.
Mueller… where are you? I better not find you hiding out at the Souvlaki Hut doing some executive time eating.
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.
