To stay afloat, Elley and I consume humor daily. Jimmy Fallon entertains us; so do Colbert and Jon Stewart. I enter the NY'er cartoon contest every couple of weeks, my latest is pasted here. Mentalfloss.com is a welcome source of random smiles.
Hard news is difficult to avoid in the 24/7 onslaught of scroll on our devices. Maintaining a healthy attitude by invoking positivity and keeping it light is a challenge, but a necessity. Lola, our DawgyLama, is our best source of happiness; her unending cuteness and the unconditional love only found in the devotion of a pet.

"The Republicans have become a party of radical extremism and oppression. Election stealing? Check. Agenda to keep women second class citizens?Check. Religious lawmakers who reject science and reality? Check. Lying demagogue who will say anything to gain power? Check ..... Nation of Change, March 8, 2014
