Humor Hurts When It’s Misused as a Destructive Weapon

Funny Stories? Document Them
Funny stories? Document them or the Dragons will hide them at the bottom of a trunk they have buried in Iceland.

Dear Happy-Faced Enchanted Journeyers,
Laughter: Seek it out or it may not find you. My youngest daughter sent me this photo that she saw online. I’m sorry I can’t give credit to the dog model or photographer, because I don’t know the source, but I’m grateful to have it and it makes me smile every time I look at it.
