Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place. ~ Zora Neale Hurston
Edward Vance Cooke
Here’s a motto, just your fit–
Laugh a little bit.
When you think you’re trouble hit,
Laugh a little bit.
Look misfortune in the face.
Brave the beldam’s rude grimace;
Ten to one ’twill yield its place,
If you have the wit and grit
Just to laugh a little bit.
Keep your face with sunshine lit,
Laugh a little bit.
All the shadows off will flit,
If you have the grit and wit
Just to laugh a little bit.
Cherish this as sacred writ–
Laugh a little bit.
Keep it with you, sample it,
Laugh a little bit.
Little ills will sure betide you,
Fortune may not sit beside you,
Men may mock and fame deride you,
But you’ll mind them not a whit
If you laugh a little bit.
Joe: “I was offered a job as a blackjack dealer at the casino.”
Pete: “Are you going to take it?”
Joe: “No. I was offered a better deal.”
Have you had to deal with a company whose website needs an Einstein to figure out how to find a solution to your question? Today was my turn. I thought it was going to be easy. That’s what the chat digital assistant told me. I’m comfortable dealing with technology so I said to myself, “no problemo.” Twenty minutes later all I wanted to do was to talk to a human being. There were no phone numbers on the website. There were lots of links to FAQs. It’s a big company so I went to Google and got a phone number. After answer ten questions to a digital assistant on the phone I was put on hold until I got a real person (or was it a real person. I could no longer tell the difference between real and digitalized; but my tired brain stopped functioning). I got through more questions to confirm my identity, I wasn’t sure of my identity at that moment, but I gave it my best shot. Five minutes later I was assured that my issue would be resolved in 3 days. I felt like I was dealing with them for three days. I did take the phone number and made a new contact in my iPhone. No more messing with their great website.

Kisses kept are wasted;
Love is to be tasted.
There are some you love, I know;
Be not loathe to tell them so.
Lips go dry and eyes grow wet
Waiting to be warmly met.
Keep them not in waiting yet;
Kisses kept are wasted.
Joe: “My buddy Mike is a cop and he busted a mime today.”
Pete: “Did he read him his rights?”
Joe: “Only partially. He said he didn’t have to tell him to remain silent.”
