Laughter

Bonjour mes amis,

Today was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous here! In the low fifties with sunshine and blue skies! Loving it and hoping it only gets better from here. Today hasn't been particularly funny, but for some reason, as I walked around today, I laughed a lot. Sometimes a funny memory would come to me--like the time my friend Melina and I invented the game, "brothas or lovas?" when we were in New York. We kept seeing guys dressed alike, and we were wondering if they were brothers or lovers. Who knows, but we were well amused, and when I passed two guys today who were dressed alike on the sidewalk, I laughed. I also laughed when the homeless guy asked if I would adopt him. It's not funny that he's homeless, but he always asks if I'll adopt him, and I find the approach amusing. If I hadn't been running late I would have taken a picture of a group of tourists sitting outside of a Starbucks that would have made you laugh. How'd I know they were tourists? All four or five of them, all guys, were sporting brand new red berets. Funny tourists.

Anyway, today I'd like to make my little list about this, so I'm thankful for:

1)  all of the opportunities that I had to laugh today
2)  people that are willing to do things for the sole purpose of making other people laugh
3)  being able to laugh at myself...I apparently have a lot of material. ;)
4)  the humor that is sometimes tucked into not-so-funny situations
5)  the two furry clowns that live with me and make me laugh a thousand times a day.

Your turn! Thanks for being here!

bisous
