Do not need a plan. Will just pick a few and move on …

January – always the start of a New Year, usually looked at as an opportunity for "new and improved" … but this year got off to an ominous start with the Capitol being overrun by rioters. Based on feedback from followers, mid-way through the month we expanded our daily Banter Bites to include Banter Bite Backstories, which we hope you will enjoy.

Curious about Red's favorites this month?

Memorial Day Is More Than The Start Of Summer. Much More.

Today’s a national holiday … for a reason. And although it may be a day of fun, festivities, and maybe even relaxation, it’s important to stop and think about the true meaning of the day …

Repeat ... Mayday. Mayday. Someone’s Pole Dancing?

It’s hard to imagine one holiday celebrates … spring, women’s fertility, workers, and labor rights. But it shouldn’t surprise you that even though it dates back thousands of years, we each “dance around” different aspects of May Day.

If you’ve never thought about May Day, don’t worry, most of us haven’t.

BANTER BITE BACKSTORY: Red appreciates that some holidays have historical significance, some have ancient traditions, and some are opportunities for one of Black’s unexpected, but often amusing and clever, comments, but May Day checks all those boxes.
