About This Newsletter

         I am honored to be your guest host for this week’s edition of the Comedy Newsletter.

It takes seven muscles to smile and twenty-seven to frown,
and laughter is an aerobic exercise;
by extension, then, comedy is therapeutic
- both for the writer and the reader/listener

Letter from the editor

         "Laughter is good medicine!." It's being tested (and perhaps proven) daily in worker productivity, social altruism, and family harmony (or lack of overt hostility*Rolleyes*).

         Many of us gather with family, friends, co-workers this time of year. Holiday gatherings are anticipated or dreaded or both. Some see it as a duty, stressful, others (mainly kids) as fun.

         So put on the kid persona and have some fun. It doesn't have to be a snowball fight, or touch football if you've seen more than a couple decades of winter holidays, but if your robo-hip is in shape, why not *Snowboarder*. Just be silly, tell a story, share embarrassing moments from kid days - but don't be mean - remember we 're looking for good medicine, not the nasty tasting stuff.

         Have fun with physical comedy - act it out, tell the story in gestures as well as words, or words that gesture (nice) *Smile*

         How about a game where you use your writerly skills to create visual comedy - acting out the words ~ charades? If you're not sure what it is or how to play, ask a parent, or grandparent or, okay, google it. You have to be creative and you're going to laugh, whether you play or watch. Come on, you're writers you're going to want to play *Wink*

         One final thought, when gathering together, use the key jar but, instead of (or along with) keys, drop in the smartphones. For 3-4 hours out of a year's 8,760, look each other in the face, tell a story, an anecdote, fiction or factoid, play! You can do it - not textspeak LOL but laugh out loud for real *Laugh*

         Then, share the funny stories you create there in prose the next time you gather, in person face to face.
