Did you know? More adults than ever are buying bicycles.
And due to the pandemic, there are inventory shortages.
There’s a sense of freedom and abandon when cycling.
You can enjoy the scenery.
Feel the breeze in your hair.
Socially distance without a stupid mask.
Riding a bike is like riding a bike, once you learn, you never forget how to do it.
And like broccoli, it’s good for you.
Riding increases balance, flexibility and strength – and it’s more fun than pilates or – God forbid – pickle ball.
It’s not just for kids. Don’t let them have all the fun!
Do you remember bike riding when you were a child?
A banana seat, a cool horn, streamers hanging from the hand grips, playing cards clipped on the spokes?
Woo Hoo! The Schwinn Sting-Ray is back!
Great for all ages – even cranky seniors.
It’s like robbing a liquor store, once you learn, you never forget how to do it.
This lyric is loaded with innuendo. Roller skates, keys, bikes. So confusing! Is the singer six or twenty-six?
See you on the bike path… @HaBarb

“Laughter may be the closest distance between two people
BUT
the shortest distance between two people and an alligator is
no laughing matter.”
May 1 – A tipsy woman dies in a fatal gator attack while attempting to get up close and personal with the big boy.
You know the instructions on plastic bags (“This is not a toy”) and boxes of mothballs (“Not a snack. Do not eat”)?
Perhaps alligators need a large flashing neon sign around their necks – “Caution! Do not cuddle!”
While extreme social distancing with Granny, Pops, Mom, the cranky neighbor next door, and (of course) your teenager – hey, why not gators, too?
Happy Hour can turn from “Fun to F*#!ed” faster than potato salad at a picnic in the park.
Do people have to be told?
Woman attacked while playing golf
See You Later Alligator… Or Is It Crocodile?

Of course you are!
“Perfer et obdura, dolor hic tibi proderit olim.
Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.”
―
“Apart from paracetamol, laughter is still the best medicine. If you’ve always dreamed of performing at your local stand-up night, now’s the ideal time to hone those gags. Chicago’s legendary Second City Training Center may be closed, but it’s offering an expanded series of classes online covering everything from performing voiceovers to writing for TV. Most affordable, though, are its $25 drop-in improv and stand-up classes. Sign up and give those one-liners a test run.”
For more FUN, see you on Pinterest!

Take as often as needed.
No costly doctor’s appointment – in the flesh or virtual – required.
No adverse side effects – not even the usual ones – nausea, headache, constipation, diarrhea, kleptomania, heart attack, tennis elbow, diarrhea, flat foot, droopy eye, dandruff, diarrhea and death.
And – best of all – you can’t overdose on laughter.
If your time or attention span is short, just watch the trailers for some laughs.

This video is especially funny during these days of isolation and existential angst.
You know you want to laugh.
A funny thing happened on the way to the pandemic. We maintained our sense of humor 😀

OMG. A pandemic!
And you thought the worst thing about April would be paying your taxes?
In case we all missed it, National Humor Month is here. Whoopee!
How to celebrate?
How ’bout a month of lock-down, confinement with family and pets (if you’re lucky), unparalleled gut-wrenching anxiety, and mindless navel gazing?
is “a very unpleasant or difficult situation.”
Ah, don’t you love British understatement?
Remember – “April showers hitting the fan may bring May flowers and nagging allergies.”
It’s high time to add some amusement to the misery.

Be patient and don’t become a patient.

2 minutes x 30 times = 1 Hour a Day
Are you sick of standing at the sink scrubbing your hands for two minutes at a clip?
Do surgeons envy your disinfecting skills?
Is all this cleaning becoming a tad tedious?
Has the whole world gone OCD?
“Better safe than sorry!”

Flying coach.
No leg room.
Narrow seats.
Contagions in the air.
You know you love it.
Bring all of your baggage, that is…
except your anxiety, impatience and negativity.
Leave home without them.

Air travel is not for sissies. You may as well laugh.

Judy Garland was very funny!
Watch the movie JUDY for the laughter as well as for the pathos and the singing.
“People always thought I was funny. I was never funny.
You know who was truly funny? Judy Garland.
Judy Garland was funny.
She made me look like a mortician.”
– Lucille Ball

We love to tease our sweet, mindful millennials.
Especially because we parents nurtured and raised them to be the transcendent humans they are!
