I doubt any of my stories will be funny to anyone yet me, but then there is Confederacy of Dunces 
The same sort of thing I love; inside jokes, backreferences, immensely flawed characters, but a final ending that is gentle is what I want to write.
So everything will be dickensian, yet short. Just the way Dickens should have wrote

Don’t neglect your valve.

Because I took a wonderful nap, I am wide awake. The valve analogy was one of the first real, visceral talks about anxiety and comfort I had ever read. Yes, Ignatius was a jerk, and yes Myrna was self involved, but the end was such a huge sigh of relief.
Ignatius, you will always suck donuts. Myrna, you will always demonize people. And that dynamic is what made the book so damn good. Two people that needed each other, even if the reasons were unconventional.

I am at the moment writing a lengthy indictment against our century. When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip.

I can listen to a podcast three times and still have my attention drift away from it at exactly the same point each time. Then they get to what’s next and it doesn’t make sense because I wasn’t listening, so I rewind and try again. Three times. :eyeroll:

That graphic says I got 8-12 inches of snow. But I can see my lawn in places. I had more snow -before- the storm.
This is a vent about weather inflation, FAKE NEWS. I’m totally fine with an ineffective March blizzard.

It was 78F yesterday, the cherry and plum blossoms have opened, all dogs in the neighborhood magically turned into puppies, and for some reason the Ray Charles scene from the Blues Brothers spontaneously erupted on the street.
Normal, boring March.
