Glad you provided a laugh or two about a serious situation. And yes, I did tear up Wednesday morning and thought gloomy thoughts.

Thanks Ann. A couple of days ago I wasn’t sure I could even post this week. But the humor bubbled up, somehow. We’ll see if we’re laughing in a year.

Hi Peter,

I enjoy your stories (mainly your illustrations) and was hoping to see you at our 50th Reunion.

Sorry you couldn’t make it.

Kind of a weak excuse though (traveling in Europe). lol.

Be well and please don’t join the mass exodus to Canada along with all those like minded folks who didn’t vote for President Trump. Think Fiji. 😂

Fiji it is! And feel free not to read thing. The drawings should say it all!

I know about omphalos part, but not the skepsis. Enlighten me pls. Unless it’s a bellybutton you eat.

Staring at your belly button to bring personal insight and wisdom…. 🤠

Dear Peter, Dear Peter

Down in New Zealand we cried too.

And dark words were written

Similar to yours.

Days later I’m subscribing

to your suggestion.

The people have spoken.

There is a new normal,

if such a thing exists.

Surviving is foremost

and humour necessary.

Please keep finding an outlook

We can grasp with hope and frivolity.

Thanks for your comment and sympathy, Deborah. I’m not exactly laughing about this situation, but I’m not going to let it shut me down either. It’s our world, not he-who-shall-not-be-named’s world.

You’re the best, reassuring and ridiculous at the same time, LOVE IT. And I really needed it … and I don’t even live in the States! We will be suffering right along with you …🇨🇦
