My short humor essay An Open Letter To Those Who Declined My Facebook Event Invite has been selected as a Top Pick of the Year for 2023 by the editors of The Weekly Humorist. It’s a heartfelt letter to those who felt they had something better to do than attend my Game of Thrones Footie Pajama Bar Crawl. You know who you are.

Of course, some of you had legitimate reasons why you couldn’t attend. Frank couldn’t come because he wanted to spend some time with his kids. He’s a family man, which is hardly a crime. Well, in this case it was, hence the Amber Alert. But his heart was in the right place.
