A ROAD TRIP CHRISTMAS

I have returned from misery, and by that I mean the state of misery. You know, the one that shares the Mississippi River with Illinois? The state that has its geographical boot shoved up the butt of Arkansas. I think Arkansas likes it though. Sick, sick Arkansas.

During the eleven hour drive home, my dad and I bonded over Utah Phillips lyrics:

"Oh, why don’t you save

All the money you earn?

If I did not eat

I’d have money to burn.

Hallelujah, I’m a bum!

Hallelujah, bum again!

Hallelujah, give us a handout

To revive us again."
