Jerks of the Week: June 5, 2023 Jerk of the Week: Conversations in the Hot Tub I got a call recently from a friend I know from the gym. This is an older woman whose kids are my age. I hadn’t seen her at the gym, so when an older person disappears, you tend to…

Jerks of the Week: April 24, 2023 Jerk of the Week: Everything is Worse Forgive me for sounding like the boomer that I am, but things used to be so much better long ago. Of course, that may sound silly to say because there was no Internet when I was a kid, but I feel…

Jerks of the Week: April 17, 2023 Jerk of the Week: Going to See the Super Mario Bros.
