Aloha Dear Readers,
I wonder why:
Some people are like Slinky’s not really good for anything, but you can’ help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs. [I apologize this is mean]
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America ?
The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!
LIFE & LAUGHTER is guaranteed to bring a few chuckles with new additions such as: "What Happens in Vegas can bite you in the Buttocks & New Years Resolutions & Combing the Caribbean Disaster Strikes, " and lastly my "Obituary." After all who knows me better and who would give a more honest account of my life??

One Minute Mystery lovers – “The Ice Woman Cometh” is the newest addition to O.M.M. Teams Santa Cruz, San Geronimo and Sacramento have at it. If you want to join or create a team let me know. "Bad Luck Charm" has almost been solved by one of my editors, Dennis Coupe. I think he had to use google. I've made the mystery a bit harder. Don't blame me. Blame Dennis. Congrats to Mike Clancy who solved " Mountain Murder or Madness?" No one has solved "The Day the Music Died." Margie you're very close. So we'll make "The Day the Music Died," this month’s contest.

Thank you for your comments. Over 5000 hits and the word is spreading. A special thanks to my younger readers, especially Addison M. and Emma S. Quoting Addison, "Pickle the Sour Puss Reindeer," is now, my new all time favorite Christmas Story. " To Emma, no Emma, I do not know why "Twister, Twinkle and Starlight save Christmas," is not a movie. But during this pandemic I wrote a screenplay and recorded nine original songs. Where are you Pixar or Netflix? p.s. Young and older readers will enjoy "Nimbus Nimble the Youngest Witch of Wayward Way," which will be added soon to my Children's Corner.
Mom's & Dad's etc... We all want to teach our children how to think out of the box ----
Here's one for the adults in the room. With a pencil, without lifting it off the paper, connect all the dots with four straight lines.

I've created a new section of my Children's Corner Called - What Am I? - In rhyme it asks your child to think out of the box by reading the clues and figuring out which animal is being described.
MORE FUN FOR CHILDREN
Three of my all time kids cartoons are just a click away at the Children's Corner. Sing along with "Lambert, the Sheepish Lion."
In response to you that have enjoyed reading a movie, yes I will be adding the first act of "Winner Takes All," shortly. To Irv & Maria, a BIG thanks, "Ton Eighty," is one of my favorites too.
Stay safe, good health, love and laughter,
