I’m with Inga, here! Can’t wait to learn “what’s funny about” you from someone else. Bold question, indeed, but I think it’s a little like asking someone to describe what a banana tastes like. I know you’re funny! But Geez, don’t ask me what’s funny about you. I read your essays and notes and gratitudes and sometimes laugh with you, sometimes “belly” laugh with you and then other times I think with you, provoke with you and occasionally cry with you (or share tears of joy or sadness or confusion).

That whole wonderful constellation of thoughts and words shows that you walk joyfully in the world of “funny.”

I know in my bones, Dear One, that you “own” humor (a bit, or a lot different than being funny) and enjoy the light/dark curse of humanity-you can employ it deftly as either a sword or a shield. And both require human expertise to avoid injury to oneself or others. Maybe a “coming attraction” from your pen!
