Hey, Anne!

I received your letter on 4-18-16 and was glad to read that my article had brought about some pleasure as your read it. I know the majority of the time I write, it's for the purpose of bringing about some laughter. Not only for my audience, but for myself as well. I'm always looking for a reason to laugh in here, to keep myself level-headed. Just like you mentioned, I try to use it as a tool. Like the old saying goes: "Laughter is the best medicine."

You mentioned how #8 was your favorite of my seventeen examples. And here I was concerned if anybody would understand it. My personal favorite is #6 (the guy yelling, "One time"). I'm picturing how embarrassed some guy would feel with all these people turning to look at him and wondering what the heck his problem was. Then, it would end with him just dropping his head and staring at his lap, while a waitress comes over and asks if she can get him anything.

As you continue reading through my blog, I'm sure you'll come across some other amusing stories, along with some serious issues as well. Always feel free to make any comments you wish and ask any questions that come to mind.

In closing, I would just like to say that I agree with your comment about it being quite amazing what Between the Bars is doing for us. I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities to communicate with individuals such as yourself, and I hope nothing ever occurs to no longer have that possible.

Well, hope to hear back from you soon.
