News breaks,
Breath holds,
A new day,
A new dread,
Will it stop soon?
It seems to only speed up,
An occasional concern becoming near constant anxiety,
Blood boils,
Ice melts,
The clock ticks towards something ominous
I want to wake up,
Please let this be over when I wake up,
But I wake to worse headlines,
My country a car hurtling towards a cliff,
Will it feel like flying right before we fall?

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

I agree that things are not going well in our country and I both fear and grieve for those hurting because of it.
