For those among the thousands who were snookered by my April Fool’s Day post last week, imagine if your 4th grade teacher gave you a spelling test like the one in this video. It would have been fun if he had thrown in a real word like floccinaucinihilipilification. The word’s definition is “the action or habit of estimating something as worthless” – sort of like this …

Gene Kelly was a master of dance. But this scene from “It’s Always Fair Weather” takes the cake. While the song lyrics are rather lame, the dancing on roller skates, beginning at the 2:09  mark, is pretty incredible. Warning: Don’t Try This at Home.

Last May we had some fun with puns. Let do some more. None of the below are original. They have been gathered from a variety of sources online.

It happens to be our ballet-teaching daughter’s birthday today. Happy Birthday, …

In case you were wondering, today is the 199th birthday of the state of Maine. It is also the birth date of Saint Nicholas (270 A.D.) But that was merely to get your attention. Today’s video reveals something every writer needs so they can spend more time writing and less time on social media.

Sorry. This video sketch has been around for 10 years, but it still makes me laugh! Ever met someone like this at a gathering? “What do you do?” “I’m a writer.” Conversation goes downhill from there… !HAH!

Most of you have the “privilege” of experiencing snow in your backyard every winter. But not here in Phoenix and Tucson. Last week our state was “blessed” with snow. My daughter and husband live in Tucson and were rather startled by the white blanket over their city. See her in the photo below. She also sent us the one above. Even the Tucson police were confused.
