Can We Please Be Happy, Please?
(With apologies to Mr. Carver...)
Please add to the research for my next book:
When was the last time you laughed wickedly and from the gut without a whit of intended malevolence or self-righteous schadenfreude?
If you can say, "For a short time today I set aside the world's troubles and my own troubles and my enemies and cynicism and petty squabbles and simply split my seams laughing, please let me know.
If you don't have time to laugh, EVER, well, I'd like to hear about that, too.
If you laughed while reading a book, please tell me which book and the particular passage. Thanks for Laughing.
