Laughter is good

Dear editor:

A “musing” on my part led me to thoughts of words – words from paper mail, words from emails, words from twitter, words from articles and warnings on the internet, words from Facebook, words from texts. Our minds are overflowing with words, and these days; they are mostly about Covid-19. In the early days of social-distancing confinement, I spent hours pouring over words that might help me keep the invisible monster at bay. Some words were helpful; some were horrifying; some were infuriatingly false. Some of them were blessedly funny.

Thank you for your sense of humor in last week’s Weekly News. It gave us a chance to laugh and to balance our heavy hearts with gladness that we don’t have sasquatch or legislators taking over our bucolic berg.
