Jokes I Like to Tell
So once there was this woman who got lost in a hot air balloon. It was her first solo flight, and she had been kind of conceited as a hot air balloon student, and so it took her a while to admit to herself that she was lost. But she finally came to that recognition, and because she saw that she was over a lake (but mind you, she didn’t know which lake), she lowered her altitude and was floating about fifty feet above the surface of the lake. She sat there a while until she drifted close to a man who was quietly fishing from his boat.
When she got close enough, she shouted at the fisherman, “Excuse me, sir, can you help me? I promised a friend I would rendezvous with him an hour ago, but I have to admit that I have no idea where I am. Can you tell me where I am?”
The man said “certainly,” consulted his portable GPS. He then shouted back up at her and said, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 50 feet above a ground elevation of 1,436 feet above sea level. You are at 34 degrees, 13.57 minutes north latitude and 92degrees, 39.73 minutes west longitude.”
She rolled her eyes at this, and in something of a huff, said, “You must be a Republican!”
“Well, actually I am,” replies the man. “But how did you know that?”
“It is pretty obvious,” answered the woman in the balloon. “Everything you told me is technically correct. But at the same time, I have no idea what to do with what you told me. And I am still lost. To be blunt, mister, you’re not being very much of a help to me.”
The man smiled at her and responded, “And you must be a Democrat.”
“I am, she said evenly. “But how did you know?”
“Well, that’s pretty obvious also,” says the man. “You don’t know where you are or where you’re going. On top of that, you’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You obviously made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve that problem for you. You’re in exactly the same position that you were in before we met, in other words. But somehow it is now my fault.”

The Auburn Avenue Chronicles
I am afraid that this book is kind of a beast. It is a collection of all my blog posts that were filed under the heading of “Auburn Avenue Stuff.” In addition, at the end I included the emails I sent as part of the summit at Ft. Lauderdale. We have removed any identifying markers from those to prevent violating any confidences.
The posts have only been lightly edited for typo-type stuff, an…
